Some old chips and splits. some old repairs.More noticeable and concentrated marks and scratching reveal the pale coloured surface beneath. Sympathetic re-colouring could improve the appearance of this significantly. Surface varnish simulating the grain of rosewood may have been re-applied in atleast some areas/ to some chairs. The treatment/ handling of the simulation varies between some chairs but this is not immediately detectabel and may add to the visual interest of them. All elements of brass marquetry and stringing appear to be present except for a small element of stringing to one chair where an area of the brass to the cresting rail has been cellotaped down due to lifting. In very few areas some of the brass is lifting and needs to be re-secured. (see images) Some other areas of some chairs have been affected by tape being applied to them. Simple and sympathetic surface restoration should resolve this where visible. A section of one side of a cresting rail has previously been broken off and repaired some time ago. (See image) All seat rails appear to be original, there are no obvious breaks or splicing to legs. All padded drop in seats have a caned seat panel beneath them. The caning varies in age, some looks to be 19th century, some 20th century. Very few of the caned panels appear to have minor faults (breaks to some strands etc) . The upholstery to the seat pads is generally in very good clean condition. Only the seats of the two armchairs have noticeable stains (see images) Please refer to the additional images for a visual reference of condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
