Condition report:
Later beech caned framed seats.
Two with obvious holes to caned backs.
Overall worm holes, shrinkage between joints, chips and wear commensurate with use and age. Noticeable repairs include the shaped top rail of the oval back with more recent caning, and front leg likely to be a later replacement.
Generally would be benefit from a strengthening to the joins and tidying up.
