They are mahogany with teal silk upholstery and rope piping. The wood has a lovely honey-brown tone that contrasts well with the cooler hue of the fabric. Wørts's design brought together traditional wood craftsmanship with more simplified modern forms, as in the rounded corners and sleek lines of the arms and legs. While the silk is in fair condition, the chairs can benefit from an overall reupholstery work.

Condition notes:
