Vittorio Bonacina Franco Albini Margherita | 1951
Beautiful classic, my mother was the first owner. She bought the chair in the 1950s and spent "a whole month's salary" on it at the time. The chair is in good condition, but the discoloration and stains appear to be - according to someone who looked at the chair - nicotine deposits. So Margherita needs some TLC to shine in all its glory again. Hence the renewed price.
