More Information

Both chairs are a little rickety with loose legs. One chair has a split along the back edge. Neither have any musical movement within the seat. The seats themselves have a myriad of old scratches and knocks. There are similar knocks around the edges and around the feet. That aside, these are nicely patinated and, apart from the missing movements, are in a relatively untouched condition.
