Condition Report

Overall very good, attractive, structurally sound condition. Frames have been professionally restored within the past decade, with one repair to the back leg of one example. The finish is even and consistent throughout, scattered light surface scratches present on both examples associated with age-related use. Chairs have also been reupholstered within the past decade. The upholstery is clean throughout and the internal foam is soft and plush. The chair's original metal under-slings are not present, and the chair's seat cushions are affixed to the frames and are structurally sound.
