In overall good condition, with rubbing, wear, shrinkage and a few normal minor flakes to the edges of carved surfaces. No notable losses observed. There is a glued horizontal break across the top portion of the carved back crest. Sturdy and solid. There is a small veneer loss to one of the apron blocks over a foot; it is a triangle coming to a point, about 1/4" wide at the large end and about 1-1/2" long. The upholstery exhibits some minor wear. One button is missing from the seat cushion. There is fraying and loose cord on the ends of the larger cylindrical pillow.
