Overall excellent, attractive, structurally sound condition. Both examples have been recently reupholstered in a cream Belgian linen and are free of any discoloration or losses. The enameled steel frames show a warm age-appropriate patina throughout, showing various scattered areas of losses to the enamel finish, areas of oxidation, and scattered surface scratches, all associated with age and use. The caning on each example is intact, and shows warm, even, age-appropriate color and finish throughout.
