In overall very good condition. Each chair exhibits losses and wear to the leaf, gesso and polychromy, most notably about the perimeter edges, minor shrinkage and normal indications of age and use. Each chair is tight and sturdy with no movement exhibited in the legs, arms or back. The upholstery is in serviceable condition and remains very attractive. It exhibits some wear and a few scattered blemishes/stains.
