Condition
Chair: Refinished. Recaned. No chips or cracks. No breaks. No holes, tears, or stains to the cushion. Very light surface scratches, scuffs and abrasions. Sturdy and structurally sound. Desk: Refinished. No water rings or stains. No chips. There are some small filled areas and touchups under the new finish. There are two tight cracks to the surface of the top that are a result of changes in humidity and temperature between the tropical environment in India and the dry climate of the midwest. The other Jeanneret desks that we have sold had similar tight cracks. The desk is sturdy and structurally sound and can be used. We suggest that the cracks be filled to minimize their appearance. Please contact us for additional photos. Note: We guarantee authenticity.
