Overall in generally good order. The leather later and in good condition with only minor marks and surface wear. There are the inevitable minor marks, surface scratches, knocks, dents, shrinkage, scuffing and wear consistent with age and use. The right arm with a small replacement repair at join with leather back and a repaired break runing through to the arm support. Repairs to both sides of, and beneath, the raised backrest as well. Restorations and infill to the back of the legs and blocks. Far left leg with a repaired crack near the join. Evidence of previous, but not original, castors. Some chips/losses and repairs to the carved feet. Would benefit from a clean - old residue to inside of legs. Structurally sound.
