Condition

Good overall condition. The wood presents with some rare hairline cracks and a few rare tiny dents. The armrests and the legs appear to have been re-fixed at a later date and there are some visible glue remnants.The legs of both armchairs have been strengthened with metal corners. One armrest appears to have been slightly restored at the junction with the backrest. The wood appears to have been previously gently sanded. The upholstery is newer and in very good overall condition.
