Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use.  As noted in the cataloguing, two chairs with their original corner blocks, four chairs are therefore with replacement corner blocks. Two chairs with replaced sections in the splats (at the sides of the vertical splat). These small replaced areas are a slightly different colour. The seat covers are largely in good condition. There is wear or rubbing to the outer edges of the legs and on the claw-and-ball feet. Overall, the chairs have clearly been well used, and there are sympathetic repairs, but are a good colour and in good useable condition.
