Condition
seat height 13 1/2 inches. ottoman H 16 x W 22 1/2 x D 19 inchesThis early example presents well with no tears, rips, or major soiling to the original upholstered chair pad. The lounge chair foam has hardened and is deteriorating when used. It is recommended to have the chair professionally conserved with new foam prior to in-home use. The shell is stable and has surface scuffs, and deeper scratches from age-related use. Almost imperceptible small losses to the shell's enamel otherwise presents in stable condition. Metal to both the chair and ottoman elements are free of breaks or bends and is free of major oxidation or pitting. The ottoman foam remains soft and usable with the upholstery free of rips with minor soiling that is not immediately noticeable.
