Condition Report: Very good condition. Light wear including a small, light-colored transfer mark to upper edge of back rest and diffuse, fine scuffs and abrasions to frame, consistent with use over time. Leather straps are secure and taut with minimal chipped losses to extremities, not affecting stability. Original upholstery shows minor ambient soiling and sun-fading consistent with age. Presents well.
