Good condition. Original leather shows notable wear along front edge, with lesser wear and ambient discoloration in keeping with age and use. Reverse of backrest shows two veneer repairs along left edge and a few smaller repaired chips to upper right edge. Assorted wear to chair frame, also showing shallow tidelines to each foot. Example has an overall attractive vintage appearance.
