Condition
In overall very good condition. The surface appears to be an older refinish, now exhibiting minor wear.
The piece shows normal minor shrinkage and mars.
Tight and solid. Arms tight. No apparent breaks or repairs to the legs.
Casters may be replaced. One rear caster is missing its wheel.
There is a chip/loss to the molded arch at the top of the center crest, about 1" long by 3/8" by 1/4". There
is also a re-glued chip at that same corner.
The upholstery is in good condition with no apparent stains or tears. Light wear. Seat springs reasonably
firm. Appears to retain its period under-upholstery beneath the show covers.
