Condition
The chairs present in overall excellent condition. Each chair is structurally sounds and has been recently oiled, allowing for a rich saturation to the wood. Light scratches in the wood throughout, consistent with age and gentle use. Caning has been replaced in a manner that is consistent with the original and overall in very good condition. One chair presents with darker overall coloration on the caning. Minor areas of loose threads to the caning that do not affect the overall structure. A wonderful, uniform set showing a deeply sculptural and minimalist form.
