09.03.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 1258: Please note that upon examination for the condition report, it was found that one of the chairs is produced by a different manufacturer than the others and has slightly varied dimensions. The shorter chair is manufactured by Alivar and measures approx 30.25”h, 23”w, 21”d, seat height: approx 17.5”h, I have amended the listing description to reflect such findings, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this error; I note that all chairs remain structurally secure and stand sturdy, the leather remaining securely bound and taut throughout seams, leather is free from observed holes or tearing, a few of the chairs with some minor peeling at upper corners of seat back (see images), the steel frame with light spotting commensurate with patination/ oxidation and use
