both chairs are made of beech, with wonderful, bentwood details and legs.

- the chair on the right, with the two horizontal slats, is referred to as chair n° 89 in the baumann catalog.
- the chair on the left, without the slats, is referred to as chair
n° 54, in the baumann catalog.

both chairs are structurally identical. The only difference, is that chair n° 54 (on the left), has no slats on the backrest, and the maximum width of the upper backrest measures at 40 cm, versus 38 cm for the other chair, n° 89 (on the right.) everything else, from height of the chairs, width and height of the seats, and depth of the chairs, is the same.

the chairs are in overall good, original and vintage condition, with some light marks, signs of age and previous use commensurate with time, as can be expected for bistro chairs of this age, on the overall structures, seats and legs, as well as a patina of age and time, with some areas of lightly faded color (see photos.) small marks of usage on the right side of the seat edging of the left chair (see photo), and a light, hairline mark on the bentwood of the same side, of the same chair (see photo.)

- both chairs are solid and stable.
- each one carries a maker's mark (see photo.)

all photos taken in natural, outdoor light, so colors may vary based upon brightness, angles and perspective in which they are viewed.
