Condition
The sofa presents beautifully and is in very good overall condition considering its age.
The steel frame is free from damage and remains in excellent condition. The cushions are firm and show no signs of sagging.
The Alcantara-covered base shows some minor age-related wear at a few edges, which is completely concealed once the cushions are in place.
The rear side of one back cushion has a slight colour fading caused by sunlight over many years. This is only visible from the back and does not affect the appearance of the sofa when positioned against a wall.
