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 excellent condition. The set presents with minor scratches, wear and nicks concentrated to the edges and along some legs. The backrests of three chairs fractured along the joints and with evidence of historic restorations to stabilize (the largest approximately 11⁄2 in.), not detracting to the overall appearance. The cane seats with stains discoloration and minor tears, typical with aging of this material. With small repairs throughout to strengthen the seats. The pieces present well, ready for display and use.
