Condition

EN : Good overall condition. The oak presents with the usual scratches, small dents, small chips, and a few uplifting, not visually distracting because of the natural aspect of the wood. On one chair, some previous dents or chips have been infilled with wax at a later date. The upholstery is newer and in very good overall condition. //// FR : Bon état général. Le chêne présente les rayures, petits enfoncements, petits éclats et petits soulèvements habituels, peu dérangeants visuellement en raison de l'aspect naturel du chêne. Sur une chaise, quelques enfoncements et éclats ont été comblés avec de la cire à une date ultérieure. La garniture est plus récente et est en très bon état général.
