Hi Ben,

It's (very old) woodworm so you barely see it but there are a few tiny holes around the frame, at the top. I've attached a pic to show you. I think nearly all antique wood furniture has some old woodworm holes.

I've also attached a close up of the fabric! I bought the fabric in an sale of designer fabric off-cuts and can't remember exactly whose it is but it could be Dedar (certainly one of the Italian fabric houses).

Hope that helps.

Hi Ben,

Sorry for the slow reply. The chair measures approx 70 cm from floor to the top.

It's 60 cm deep and 48 cm wide.

Hope that helps.

There is interest from another HoL enquirer so would be great to be know today if you'd like to buy the chair.

Thanks very much,

Mel
