Further condition notes:
Professionally restored. Some chairs with slight, non-detracting, non-imparing frame warping, typical of this form of chair from age and use. Very sturdy and heavy frames. Uniquely, the seats were never caned as is typical, always having upholstered drop-in seats; the upholstery is modern and the fabric of high quality and in excellent condition. less
