As part of a complete restoration, the chrome structure has been professionally cleaned and the beech wood armrests have been newly lacquered with black piano lacquer to a high luxury gloss. The uniqueness of this piece is highlighted by new professional upholstery in high-quality genuine Italian leather, which was executed in a dark shade precisely according to the historical model.
