It is a small proportioned chair, measuring approximately 30 3/4" (78cm) high and 22” (56cm) wide across the arms. The seat is approximately 16" (41cm) deep and 16 1/2” (42cm) high.
It is in very good condition for its age and displays well. It has developed a lovely patina and is a strong and sturdy chair. The chair is not without a few small marks and knocks and signs of age and use but no major damages or anything detrimental. It has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.
