EMILIO TERRY | Pair of Garden Armchairs

en suite with the following lot

Tajan Paris, December 8, 2010, lot 141

Overall good condition. The armchairs have most likely been repainted at some point in the history of the piece. The armchairs present with some scattered dents and a few small chips of green paint, mostly located along the edges and the legs and consistent with age and use. Some areas with light rubbing marks. Some natural separations at the joints of the elements, inherent to the material, including more prominent separations at the joints connecting the backs and the armrests. Some small areas have been refinished at a later stage to cover previous small damages. On one armchair, the green paint is lifting on some areas with a few cracks and flaking, more especially on the proper right upper corner of the back of one armchair and on the seats.The bottom of the legs present with a few chips of wood, consistent with age and use. The cushions are newer and in good overall condition, with some light soiling. A very sophisticated model by Emilio Terry.
