8.24-24-LOT 1190: As described one of the seats has a small tear to the caning near the central region, I note that all chairs are presently intact, with the caning being securely bound to the seat framing, I observe three chairs with a split of varying degrees to the hoop stretcher but remaining intact and not appearing to obstruct structural integrity, there is typical light surface wear concentrated to the edge of the seat and the lower legs, such as minor abrasions and nicks commensurate with use, as well as areas of tonal variation and light spotting, additionally I observe minute evidence of old woodworm to one of the chairs (see image)
