Description

Piece is obviously quite old. Only metal in evidence is the tacks to hold the leather on, though there could be some small brads holding the woolen support straps in place. All joins on frame are done with wood pegs. Some nicks in wood, including evidence of a fracture on right side. Bottom of front legs show evidence of turning because there is a hole. Has evidently spent a good deal of time in storage. Not really sure what condition to list it as because of its apparent age.
