This vintage set was professionally reupholstered with button tufting on the back rest and the inside of the arm rests. The fabric is high quality, tightly woven and very clean. The cushions are firm, like new. I was told the set was from a doctor's estate. The wood trim is original and untouched. I bought this but it sadly does not match the blue chairs in my parlour. So my disappointment is your gain. Price is firm, as I only want to recover what I paid for it, which was a really good deal. I will not separate the set, but you could easily get $350 for either piece.
