Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in overall excellent, used condition. The leather has been thoroughly cleaned and a nourishing leather balm applied. The leather upholstery on the two cushions is in excellent order, soft and supple with plump inners. There is some wrinkling, surface marks and colour fading but this is in line with its age and what you would expect with vintage leather – indeed, it’s part of its appeal. Likewise, the upholstery on the main frame is in excellent order too including the leather arms, the seat canvas and all the strapping that moors it into position. The wooden bentwood frame is similarly in excellent order with only very minor scuffs, but again, this is barely noticeable.  The folding mechanism moves with ease. Sadly the original Westnofa sticker, usually found on the chair base, is no longer affixed, but this is a very well-documented, attributed design. It dates from the 1970s. P
