Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. When viewed in person, the seat surface presents with a wonderfully figured and detailed surface with a gentle freeform curve along the front edge. The surfaces with minor surface scuffs and scratches concentrated to the bases of the legs. The front edge of the bench with minor water stains, the largest approximately 1.5 x 6 in. (4 x 15 cm) as visible in the printed and online catalogs. The front proper right corner with a loss to the wood and a few wormholes inherent in the production of the piece. A beautiful example of this model in very good condition.
