Condition Report
Fauteuils: height 41 1/2 x width 26 1/4 x depth 23 1/2 inches; seat height 18 1/2 inches.
Each in sturdy condition and can be sat upon. Later seat blocks and rails added to the undersides. One chair had two of its legs broken off during shipping and they have recently been professionally repaired. The settee has an old repair to one of its arms where the arm meets the back; slightly more looseness in the joinery on the settee, but still sturdy. The upholstery is clean and intact throughout; slightly dusty. The varnish is even and polished; there are a few scuffs at edges as is normal.
