The solid Burmese teak frame and legs show only minor surface scratches and light nicks (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but shows no gouges, stains or other damage whatsoever and the teak woodgrains are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light. The original vinyl upholstery shows only one small tear on the backrest (shown in the detail photos provided) as well as minor areas of color fading (best viewed in the natural light video provided) as well small pressure dings. However the upholstery, hand-nailed 75+ years ago, is in overall very good original shape. This ultra-rare Model 171 Chair is incredibly rare, structurally solid and ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and natural light video for details on this chair's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request. less
