The paint distressed to reveal the underlying beech in particular to protruding areas such as the flower carved crest and arms, also the legs and feet. There are holes to the underside of the legs, one foot chipped. Some joints have probably been repaired as there are some traces of glue. There are traces of a wash to the paintwork on the back. We are unable to comment on the areas under the upholstery. The upholstery is slightly compressed to the seat area, with some wear to the arms, some depressions to the pile of the fabric and with a ?moth threadbare patch to the front of the seat, some stains.
