Fair to good overall condition with advanced wear from use. Wood surfaces show scattered scratches, areas of shallow indentations, a few small stains, some small chips, and a few areas of finish wear. Seam separations are visible throughout and are most noticeable running the length of each arm. Several repairs are present and include prior breaks to top of one finial at back rest. A crude repair is visible to one lower stretcher. Leather elements show overall discoloration and staining, several surface scratches, and some crazing.
