As the photos show, both chairs are in excellent condition. The construction is VERY solid- the frames are heavy and this is quality leather- virtually nothing could happen to this design. The suite is strong and sturdy with NO cracks around any joint, NO movement or wobbles, NO breaks, NO repairs. This pair are about 40 years old so show some signs of use but nothing that draws your eye. I didn't have any leather cleaner in Sydney so they'd likely come up even better with a leather clean. The leather presents well overall. Click on the Magnifying Tool to enlarge each image, then click on the enlarged image to Supersize it. There's nothing unsightly- just what you'd expect after 40 years of use. There is a concentrated area of wear down near the floor at the back of one chair, because it's near the floor and to the side it's not really noticed. This area could be tidied up by a leather technician but I didn't think it was necessary- it took me a while to even notice it. I'd say a leather technician would charge about $140 to get this area looking good again. The outer rim of the wheels has some chipping but this does not affect the function of the wheels at all- the wheels still turn as they should. This also took me some time to notice as the wheels are under the chair. The Damask fabric is in brilliant condition- it looks great. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Photo number 4 and 5 best represent the colour of the chairs in "normal" light- the photos where the colour is half-way between. The photos of them in strong light are good to have there as they show that the colour does vary depending on the lighting. In normal homes, photo 4 and 5 can be used as a benchmark for colour. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Measurements. Across- 73cm. Depth- approx 87cm. Height- 77cm. Seat height- 44cm. The original leather upholstery is in excellent condition for a suite that’s been used for 32 years. The leather has NO splits, NO holes, NO cracks into the leather but it does have minor signs of use (mainly creases, which are not unsightly but certainly there when you scrutinise the leather more closely). The suite was refreshed by an expert leather technician 7 years ago and looks great. If the paint finish is maintained, I see no reason why this leather won’t last forever. This is THICK, Italian VINTAGE leather back when leather was leather. (Before China discovered ways to process leather and get several layers of “leather mixed heavily with glue” out of one leather hide.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The seat and back cushions are all loose so a breeze to reupholster- simply take the covers with new fabric to anyone with a sewing machine. It’s not a hard job. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The base sections are also not hard to re-upholster. If you ever want to re-upholster the full suite down the track, be adventurous (but still measured)- you’ll be rewarded for it. You’ll have something that everyone will go nuts for and if you choose well, you should elevate the value of this suite. It looks great as it is though- there’s no need for re-upholstery at the moment. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This suite presents really well as a whole- it’s ready to be used and loved right now (but is not in “as new” condition. Research “B & B Italia Sity” online and see what this could be turned into in the future for very little cost). ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This suite measures Xm along the full back. The length (along the rounded chaise section) is very likely to be 1.58m- this was taken from the previous Sity suite we sold 5 years ago. (This suite separates into 4 PIECES.) The width opposite the rounded chaise section is Xm. The seat height is 40cm (this again has been taken from our previous listing. Total height- 69.5cm (again taken from our previous listing). The smallest piece that’s almost a square is Xm. For FREIGHT. TOTAL for all 4 pieces- X cubic metres. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Read my 1200+ ebay feedback comments (ALL are for vintage furniture and decorative arts SALES) to be assured that all my items are in excellent condition and that I strive to describe all my items as accurately as I can.
