Good vintage condition. Light nicks, scratches and impressions throughout both frames in their original finish, which has darkened substantially with age. The finish has been recently refreshed with oil and could benefit from further cleaning. One thin outer edge to armrest on one example has broken, causing a noticeably flattened loss to this formerly curved detail. This area of both armrests on the other chair also shows wear, but with much smaller and less noticeable losses to wood. This chair also shows a 2-inch area of pet chew damage towards the bottom of one back leg. Vinyl upholstery on both chairs is free of tears, but shows small speckled stains and faint discolorations. Both chairs are structurally sound and are ready for continued use as-is, but could benefit from some restoration. Please note this work may require the buyer to obtain a CITES permit to export out of the United States. Due to increased scrutiny regarding the issuance of CITES certificates, we cannot guarantee an export permit will be granted.
