Condition Report:
This side chair is in good original condition. Minor old use marks, scuffs, scratches and general ageing to the finish are present to the chair frame. It has evidently been used over their many years of service (please see photos), but nothing significant considering their age. The mother-of-pearl inlay is original and there are no missing pieces. The seat is also original, with no missing cane work or holes; it is comfortable to sit on. It remains very attractive, rare decorative item, which is also functional. The chair is solid in joint and ready to use.
