It is in good original condition.
It has developed a wonderful rich patina and there are traces of the original old stain or varnish which has worn attractively over time. There has been an old repair to a split in the back of the arm which is now strong and sturdy. There is some slight wear to the tips of the legs and the chair has probably lost a little bit of height over the years. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
