Condition Report

Of private source.

The frame is sound with no undue flex, the gesso surface has the usual slight bruises and chips expected with old gilt chairs

No signs of woodworm.

the upholstery on the arm pads is threadbare but the seat and back are good but would benefit from a clean.

Please may I draw your attention to the other chair from the same collection Lot 116
