Condition

The upholstery is worn overall with the seat fabric shredded. The painted and gilt surface is worn, especially on the armrests and legs. Evidence of previous worm damage which is typical in Italian furniture. Restorations to the painted and gilt surfaces throughout, and a few rosettes replaced. Minor seam splits on armrests. Both structurally sound and a very grand scale.
