Condition

Fair overall condition. Surface scratches and dents more or less important scattered. Numerous previous wood worms holes on one stool and some on the legs of the other stool. Some cracks in the wood. All consistent with age and use. On one stool, the underside seems to have been partially grated. There are some glue stains on the legs of one stool. Both stools appear to have been re-ebonised at a later stage.
