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 with some inevitable, marks, scratches, small losses and repairs in areas, all as to be expected with age and use.
The upholstery in very good order.
Very small amount of old inactive wood worm holes to the rails underneath.
Later glue blocks underneath seat.
To both chairs there is a repair to to the facing of the top of the front legs, approx. 1 in, likely just from upholstery tack damage.
A: Base of back legs with 19 cm replacement, the stretcher consequentially reattached and possibly replaced, the front rail replaced. A repair to the front right guttae foot.
B: Some glue residue where the stretchers meet the legs. An ink number to one corner bracket '11/02/000'. Repaired shrinkage to the shoe at the back. The front seat rail capped.
These chairs are structurally sound, an attractive design and ready to be placed and used.
