- Condition Notes
- This set is in good vintage condition. The wood frames have scratches, scuffs, marks, and wear consistent with age. The leather upholstery has scratches, marks, scuffs, and crackling. Two of the leather cushions appeared to have been replaced with fabric. This set is sturdy and could be used as is, but would also make a great candidate for reupholstery. There is a makers mark. Please see photos for full condition details.
