Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. When viewed in person, the color of the wood is softer and presents with a more golden tone. The chair has been professionally refinished to complement lot 1511. The frame presents with scattered minor scuffs and fine surface scratches. The proper top left and right mounting points of the backrest and armrests with hairline cracks measuring approximately 1 1/4 in. (3 cm) and 1 in. (2.5 cm) respectively, have been professionally and sensitively restored, are stable and not visually disruptive. The proper front right edge of the curve of the seat and rear proper top left corner of the backrest each with wear to the top layer of veneer approximately 1 in (2.5 cm) which has been professionally and sensitively restored and is not visually disruptive. A fine example of this iconic Finnish design.
