Condition
In excellent condition, this suite has been meticulously cared for over the years. The solid Blackwood frames have been thoroughly cleaned and waxed, restoring their natural warmth and beauty. The fabric, while slightly faded, remains intact with no holes, rips, or significant wear, maintaining its charm and functionality.
One minor detail to note: the material on the underside of the footstool cushion has come away slightly from the main cushion fabric. However, this is only visible when the footstool is turned upside down and does not affect its appearance or use. A well-preserved example of timeless design.
