Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The item bears the usual minor knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age and use. The finally scrolled ends of one top rail are chipped off in three of four corners. The back splat of that chair is split although appears perfectly stable. There is an old repair behind the split. There are also possibly later pegged strengtheners at the back of the chair for the seat rails. The other chair has a chipped loss of circa 0.5cm to one arm rest terminal.
