Condition Report
Whilst obviously extremely fragile, these chairs are in good overall condition; one of the four (unarmed) chairs' seats is loose/untucked and the quill work is generally yellow and dirty, commensurate with age.

Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report.

Prospective buyers should also refer to any Important Notices regarding this sale, which are printed in the Sale Catalogue.
