Condition: Good original unrestored condition. Metal frame is clean and solid but has some signs of wear and rust. This is now fully cleaned but we have tried to preserve the vintage character. Leather seat is good without any tears or cracks, but with general signs of wear and age that can be seen in the photos. The tie fastenings appear to be later replacements but would be easy to change (eg. switch the light-coloured one for something darker). We like it as it is, showing its age.
Restoration note: where possible, we attempt to keep items original, preserved and unrestored. But we understand that different buyers have different preferences and requirements, and can also arrange for full restoration to buyer’s specification.
