Various old worm damage, mainly in the form of holes but there are also areas of fragmentary loss as a result of worm damage (see additional images) Some areas such as the rear stretcher of the legs of one chair have been fairly significantly affected by worm previously and filler has been used to disguise this.

The appearance of them does vary between the two chairs though so the rails to one chair may be old replacements. The corner blocks supporting the seat rails are later/ modern and vary from eachother. The upper part of each back of each chair appears likely replaced. Elements of this seem of varying age (see images) It is a basic straight join connecting the main part of each back to the rear legs/ uprights just above the seat . Elements of visible timber from the back of the chairs look to be of no great age at all. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

There are various old losses to the detailing of the finials, particularly to one finial (see images) The finial elements on the left and right corners of the back are loose and the finial on the right is detachable.

The seat rails themselves appear original and the carved elements of the seat rails/ frieze are integral to them. There are old worm holes to the rear seat rail.

Donato Barcaglia (Italian, 1849-1930), lo Spazzacamino, a sculpted white marble model of a street urchin, the boy portrayed in rustic dress and with a half eaten loaf of bread and a brush tucked under his left arm, seated on a fluted and shaped plinth and raised on a further naturalistically modelled base with foliage, inscribed D. Barcaglia Milano to the reverse, on a further moulded circular plinth, 79cm high; presented on a further green serpentine marble columnar pedestal, approximately 184cm high overallDonato Barcaglia was born in Pavia and trained at the Accademia di Brera in Milan. He became well-known as a portrait sculptor, though during his long career he also sculpted a number of allegorical and social genre groups such as this urchin boy. A version of this model by the sculptor sits in Paddington Street Gardens, Marylebone. This 'Street Orderly Boy' was presented to the parish of St Marylebone during the Second World War.Condition Report: One or two small losses to foliage behind and beside the plinth, also evidence of old repairs in these same spots, where there are remnants of clear residue. Possible very subtle restorations to right ankle and hat brim. One or two small chips to the lowermost edge of the base (though the carving is quite naturalistic and intentionally coarse there). The outline of the seat is also a little irregular though again this is likely the design. The marble is quite an even, creamy colour with one or two spots of slightly yellow-ish discolouration and a blue scuff mark to the corner of the seat. Very slight sugaring in areas particularly the brush, though this doesn't detract and overall the marble appears smooth, and has possibly been gently cleaned.The column has a few scuffs and nibbles, and currently has a small bit of wood between two of the upper sections perhaps for support. One or two of the veins of the plinth show evidence of filling.Condition Report Disclaimer
