Minor wear consistent with age: one front castor wheel is missing on the armchair, and a few small ornate wooden buttons are absent from the carved detailing. Priced accordingly.

Acquired 30 years ago from a neighbor with a Victorian furniture collection. A rare matched pair that would make a dramatic statement in any parlor, library, or sitting room. See less
