In need of some minor attention as the backs are unstable. Old marks, chips and losses to decoration as visible from the catalogue photograph which can easily be touched up. The gilding is worn in places. The legs have been reblocked. One cane seat is damaged. Evidence of old minor worm which appears to be no longer active.
