Condition Notes: The dust cloth was removed to assess the structural condition of the chair and look for clues regarding age. There is a small repair to the underside of the seat frame. Original horsehair seat batting was reused when the seat was reupholstered in mauve leather. Original seat back shows signs of age including cracking and splitting of the leather and fading of the paint. Would benefit from additional restoration to bring it closer to its original design.
