Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The website illustrations are accurate. Good overall condition. There are inevitable dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. As stated in the catalogue transformations to the backrest; probably voyeuse originally. The plumes have been changed later. There are some chips to the surface of the gilding as expected, revealing the red bole, the white gesso and the bare wood underneath. One armchair has been reinforced with wooden modern pieces underneath. Upholstery: good overall condition despite some very minor wears as expected.
