The detailing of this pottery chair is unbelievable and the original box is very much intact with metal corners. The chair looks as if it has been carved from stone (which it has) and even the finish of the pottery is porous and ancient in appearance. For world travelers or people who need to have inherited from Grandparents Grand Tour this would be a good addition. The condition could not be better. It descended from an old East Tennessee Family who were travelers between WWI and WWII.
