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.
In fairly good country house condition overall.
With the inevitable knocks, marks, losses, scratches and shrinkage cracks, consistent with age and use.
As stated redecorated - the current decoration with extensive rubbing, flaking and losses throughout and overall these chairs would benefit from sympathetic restoration or redecorating.
The gilding refreshed - formerly ebonised and parcel-gilt.
Evidence of historic, but apparently inactive, woodworm to both - particularly to the rails.
The caned seats replaced and in good sound condition.
The later squab cushions in fair condition but rather faded and tired overall.
Highly decorative and structurally secure.
