AFTER THE MODEL BY FRANCOIS-HONORE-GEORGES JACOB-DESMALTER, LATE 19TH CENTURY

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.

Overall in very good condition, decorative and ready to place. With typical scattered light nicks, minor scuffs and faint surface wear, consistent with age and use. The mounts with some light rubbing. Some mounts, including along the edges of the seat, appear to be regilt, others with original gilding. With further scuffs to the reverse of the chair uprights, consistent with use. With a light layer of dirt in crevices. With some minor restoration to the arms where they meet the chair backs; the proper left arm with a small loss just above the arm. With minor patch repairs at joins on the reverse of the chair where the seat meets the back. The upholstery well maintained. Presents well overall.
