H 29 1/2 x W 25 1/2 x D 29 inches

Property from the Estate of Louise Hart, Glencoe, Illinois

Overall good, attractive, structurally sound condition. Upholstery appears original to the pieces and presents well for its age, each of the arms on both examples are worn and lighter in color, with overall even sun-fading to the fabric throughout, associated with age and use. The internal foam on each element is plush and soft. The color and finish to the wood elements show an even and consistent color and finish throughout, with scattered light surface scratches near the lower portion of legs associated with age and use. The swivel function of each example operates smoothly.
