A historic 11⁄2 in. crack along the proper left side where the seat meets the backrest now stabilized, not visible when cushion is set in place, and an minor 3⁄8 x 1⁄2 in. area along the proper right armrest near the backrest infilled with wood. The underside with later blocks to stabilize. Some rods along the backrest slightly loose, yet stable. The replaced upholstery in good condition with light surface dirt and some loose threads.
