Condition: Overall this set is in good to very good, partially restored condition. Table has been refinished while still preserving old wear and age. There are scattered scratches and impressions to the table top surface. Chairs are a married set with slight differences in their finish. Some have scattered finish loss along with a texture from raised grain on a couple examples on the outer sides of the legs. They all have numerous impressions, small spots of wood fill, abrasions to the finish and a couple small losses of material at the feet. These issues are all very common for these forms. The caning and upholstery have been updated and presents in excellent condition.
