Condition Report: In structurally sound condition, there are no wobbles to the back or arms. There is some minor cracking and fading to the leather. The extreme edges have scuffs and marks consistent with public use. The leather would benefit from nourishing and the frames could do with a light repolish. One leg is missing mouldings from the top. One small piece of moulding is missing from the corner back support, the opposing end with chip/dent. The leather is in good general condition and two of the buttons are missing.
