Overall in good original condition, with original leather upholstery with some areas of wear, including several curved surface abrasions to the top surface of the leather. The chrome-plating with some natural oxidation consistent with age as can be seen in the catalogue/online photographs. The original Archibald Henrick & Sons Ltd glides in good functioning condition.
