Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age and use. A back, a stretcher and two legs have been restored. There are previously painted and they have been stripped off. The cane is in good condition. All constructions are firm and sound, except the back which has been restored. It should be reinforced. There are traces of old and inactive woodworm. Very elegant model and ready to use.
