Each in good, stable condition overall. Refinished and with newer upholstery which shows very little wear throughout. Retains an even finish and color throughout. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Few age cracks visible throughout. There are later rubber stoppers covering the bottom of each foot to preserve the feet, not to conceal any issues. Additional images available upon request.
The provenance for this lot is unknown. The current owners had them authenticated and valued from Antonio's in San Francisco, California in 1986 (image of letter of authenticity attached).
