The quality is outstanding, the frames are beautifully constructed and have gorgeous grain patterns. There are original black leather cushions which contrast beautifully with the frame. These are quite compact sofas, yet they are still very comfortable.

The condition is superb for their age, we have had the frames stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, with brand new black Pirelli webbing under the seats. The leather cushions are in amazing condition, with minimal wear to the leather. The fabric on the underside of the seat cushions is a little frayed in places, seen in the images but not visible at all when in place.
