Lot 162

In good condition, consistent with manner of construction, age, and use; the upholstery in good, clean condition.

The chair and stool are both structurally sound but with some inherent movement in the back and arms of the chair owing to the design and manner of construction (the horns and other structural parts being joined to each other with one or two pins, not providing a very rigid overall frame).

To the right arm, there appears to be a fracture in the connection between the point of the horn forming the front of the arm and the cast metal fitting that connects this to the seat. This connection is presently wrapped in black plastic tape (as visible in the catalogue photos), which we have not removed.
