Condition
Chair shows signs of prior restoration at some point in the past. It was painted black and the cane has been updated. There are now abundant signs of use post restoration, which can be seen most clearly in multiple areas of paint loss, which provide views of the original finish. There are also some checks and partial splintering to areas of the frame at the tighter bends, as is typical in older bentwood chairs. Despite some expected looseness to the frame from time and use, the chair remains structurally sound. Good overall vintage and restored condition. A small black leather cushion is included with sale.
