Condition: Please refer to the detailed photos which are an integral part of the condition description. Original vintage items, particularly leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of creases and wear. We recommend annual waxing to preserve moisture. Additionally, hand-dyed leather should not be exposed directly to sunlight for long periods as it may dry out and discolour.
