Condition Report
The chairs are largely in good structural order but have had repairs and restoration over the years to remain in service with a few slightly loose seat joints and old repairs to the spat bars
Each chair has at some point has been treated for woodworm and a bandage-type repair has been applied to the top of the seat rails below the upholstery, the seat rails have then been sized as part of an old method of treatment for worm infestation.
One single chair has a break across the rear mortice of the seat rail and the leg where an old ineffectual repair has failed.
A few of the chairs have had rather unorthodox corner braces fitted but these could be removed and the joints firmed up properly.
