The chairs have been recently reupholstered in this red Latin inscribed upholstery which is very decorative
The suite has been sympathetically restored to include a deep clean, hand condition wax and hand polish, one of the creatures had broken off and has been restored, there will be some small losses to the very small carvings, otherwise they are in fine order
