Condition
Good overall condition. The wood presents with the usual light scratches, hairline cracks, small dents and small chips scattered. There is a larger chip on one leg on approximately 1,5 cm There are previous restorations (infills in previous chips/dents), the largest at the junctions between the seat and the backrest. The wood appears to have been re-varnished at a later time. The leather upholstery is newer and in very good overall condition. The leather presents with a few very light scratches, and scuffs consistent with age and use. The patina of the nails holding the leather presents with some wear. The seat is rotating on itself and could be unscrewed.
