Description

  • Haut. 92 cm, larg. 60 cm ; height 36 1/4  in., width 23 1/3 in.
upholstered in black leather

Condition

The photograph is a little too dark. Ebonised and giltwood were slightly refreshed. As expected, the leather is with little wear on the armrests. The front left foot has been restored. There is a small piece missing on the wing ends of the right sphinge (not distracting). Very elegant model.
