Delphine and Reed Krakoff, Houses That We Dreamt Of: The Interiors of Delphine and Reed Krakoff, New York, 2017, p. 79 (for the present lot illustrated)

Overall good condition. The armchairs have most likely been repainted at a later stage. The armchairs present with a few scattered small dents, mostly located along the edges and consistent with age and use. A few areas with light rubbing. Some cracks at the junctions of the elements, inherent to the material. Some small areas have been re-finished at a later stage to cover previous small damages. The legs are dusty and the bottom of the legs present with some wear, consistent with use. The back legs with a few chips to the wood at the bottom, including one more significant on one leg. The cushions are newer and are in good overall condition, with some light soiling and a few light stains. One of the seat cushion with a pen stain on approximately 2 ½ in. A very sophisticated model by Emilio Terry.
