EMILIO TERRY | Pair of Garden Armchairs

en suite with the preceding lot

Tajan Paris, December 8, 2010, lot 141

Overall good condition. The armchairs have most likely been repainted at a later stage. The armchairs present with a few scattered small dents and a few small chips of green paint, mostly located along the edges and consistent with age and use. Along the lower front edge of the seat, a chip of wood measuring approximately 3 ½ inches has been previously repainted. A few areas with light rubbing. Some cracks at the junctions of the elements, inherent to the material. Some small areas have been refinished at a later stage to cover previous small damages. On one armchair, the green paint is lifting on the seat with a few cracks.The legs with some light surface soiling and wear to the bottom of the legs consistent with use. The back legs with a few chips of wood at the bottom, including one more significant on one leg. The cushions are newer and in good overall condition, with some light soiling. A very sophisticated model by Emilio Terry.
