Condition Report
Sturdy, well-conserved condition overall. Chairs can be sat upon and support weight. One chair has had one of its front legs broken and repaired, with some visible glue residue. Both chairs with worm holes, small wood deteriorations, small age cracks and loss/chips to the painted finish throughout. The painted finish looks largely original but has been "refreshed" in the 19th and 20th century; there are traces of both gray and white paint visible, and some areas of paint lost, exposing the wood.
Height of footstool 9 x width 15 x depth 11 inches.
