this is in good vintage condition. Impressively sized, reassuringly heavy and structurally sound, as you’d expect from a top italian designer and manufacturer, this chair oozes quality. It shows only minor to-be-expected signs of wear and use including some minor marks to the seat and back and some light scratches to the left arm rest. The leather has been treated to keep it rejuvenated and looking its best. Overall it's a wonderful chair in lovely vintage condition and if well looked after it should be just as magnificent for generations to come – please see the photos.
