Upholstered in cream damask.The armed chairs each measure 39 x 26.5 x 24 inches. Armless chairs each measure 38 x 22 x 21 inches. This lot was originally offered without reserve in our July 8, 2016 auction. The buyer, a Manhattan auction house owner and television show furniture appraiser, never paid for his purchases. As a result, this property from the Joseph Candioto Trust is being offered again without reserve.
Good condition noting some minor issues of edge wear and minor chipping to some applied decorations.
