As can be seen in the pictures, the chairs are in age-appropriate condition: all are sturdy and ready for immediate use, but show visible signs of wear.

Condition details:

- Walnut wood with a lovely warm color
- Some minor chips in the wood, clearly visible on two chairs

- One chair has a crack at the top corner of the backrest
- Leather mostly well preserved, but torn on two chairs

- Seats generally still attractive, soft leather

- 5 chairs with existing (partially loose) upholstery
- 5 chairs without upholstery
- Some water stains and signs of age

Despite these flaws, the chairs have a wonderful presence and are an excellent basis for professional restoration. They are extremely rare to find in this condition and quantity.


Ideal for collectors, lovers of design classics, or anyone who recognizes their value and wants to breathe new life into them.
