Each overall good condition with scattered scuffs, light scratches, and oxidation commensurate with age. The underside of each frame with wear to the enamel finish on each chair. As well, each chair with a later added black cotton cushion, which was secured on the underside with the addition of Velcro strips. These strips cannot be removed from the perforated metal seat without risking adhesive residue and lifting of the original finish. Chairs are being sold as-is with modifications in place. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
