Condition Report

The chairs are in overall good condition with some minor wear to the tips of the finials of the stiles, some alligatoring to the seats' surfaces, and a few minor losses as well as minor wear to the mother of pearl surfaces. All consistent with age and gentle use.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
