Each in good, stable, usable condition. Mahogany with fairly even finish throughout, brass banding all appears intact and tight. Each with some light to moderate surface wear (nicks & scratches (to wood and brass)) consistent with age and use. Refinished. Later upholstery intact and clean. One caster detached but retained.
