Condition Note: This pair presents in good antique condition commensurate with their age. The mahogany frames are sound and stable on both chairs - joints are firm and the sabre legs are secure. The ormolu mounts are present and complete on both chairs, retaining good gilding with natural patination consistent with age.

The upholstery is in usable condition - the Napoleonic bee fabric is present and intact on backs and seats of both chairs. The fabric is a genuine period-appropriate pattern and is very presentable as-is, though buyers wishing to re-upholster in their own choice of fabric will find the frames in excellent condition for that purpose.
