Condition Report:
The armchairs are in good original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the walnut frames but nothing significant considering the age of them. The frames and arms are in good condition with no splits or loose movements. The chairs boast their original cotton tapestries, which still retain clean and vivid colours; they are free of any holes or damage. There are some faint water marks on the seats, near the base of the arms (please see photos) but these do not detract from the overall condition of the upholstery and it does not warrant replacing the original upholstery for this reason. The upholstery is finished with the original metal studs. As the armchairs boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received. The armchairs are solid in joint and ready to use.
