Country Chippendale Chairs

Price

$350

Condition

Overall very good with normal signs of age. There is a hole on one back leg where the stretcher boring was either done too deep and protruded through or an old attempt of re-gluing. The seats at some point were redone and are very tight. One chair is lighter in color than the other from natural use.
