Condition Report:
These chairs are in very good condition and commensurate with the age of the chairs. All chairs are free of wood worm, solid in joint and are ready to use. The sprung seats have been recently re-upholstered in a grey / fawn fabric and are extremely comfortable. One of the carvers has been made in the mid 20th century to increase the set from seven chairs to a set of eight. The later armchair is an exact match to the original armchair. Three of the side chairs have had minor restoration to the top of the back rests but they are now completely solid in joint and ready to use. The original carver armchair has some fading to the polish on back of the chair (caused by sun light). All in all, this is a solid, clean good quality and comfortable set of chairs for the money.
