Condition
Overall in very good condition. The frames with minor scattered shallow dents, scuffs and surface scratches. The rattan is slightly dry overall with some scattered craquelures, a few cracks and some instances of discoloration, all consistent with the aging of this material. The rattan weaving on the bases of the legs is loose and broken in a few areas, concentrated to one chair and is not visually distracting. The fabric upholstery is newer and in very good condition exhibiting only extremely minor signs of use.
