Provenance

Property from a Private New Jersey Collection.

presents nicely, showing evidence of a couple paint campaigns, signs of red showing through the current black finish- signs of wear and loss to surface commensurate with age and use, but overall the black paint appears to be old and has nice effect; the rounded arm terminals have replaced wood segments; back left-facing foot with replaced wood segment along back; back left-facing leg may be partially replaced, as there is a horizontal line about 1/6 of the way down that may indicate a replaced section, but obscured by old paint so hard to tell with certainty; scattered signs of expected wear commensurate with age and use, particularly to seat and feet; crestrail probably with some restorations- evidence of later screws to underside of one side
