3.27.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3190- the chairs are both sturdy and stable, with tight joints and firm cushions, the upholstery exhibits a few scattered picks, spots, stains, and light wear, though no apparent rips or tears are observed, the piping shows some pulls and picks, the wood frames remain intact, with some nicks and small areas of wood wear, the gilt and painted surfaces display distressing, with areas of rubbing, wear, and flaking to the finish, which may be intentional though I am unsure, the cream-painted surfaces show some discoloration, lines, and rubs, there is also white sticker residue on the back of each chair, as noted above I am uncertain whether the distressing and wear were designed to give the appearance of age, in my opinion only, the mentioned wear is consistent with the antique style of the chairs, no major loss is observed, please refer to the multiple images for a comprehensive view
