The chairs are in lovely used condition throughout, the upholstery is velvet so naturally it has different grains in the light, there’s no stains or marks to note, a little light scuffing in the fabric where your ankles go on one chair but it’s not damage, simply the velvet being brushed one way giving it a different shine in the light, otherwise I can see some light pulls in the fabric on the arm fronts here and there, very small These chairs as mentioned in the high back and with premium velvet upholstery retail for just over £3,000 per chair.

Authenticity B&B Italia relies on its products only with high-quality materials and controls the quality during every processing phase. The materials and technologies conceived are an integral part of the study carried out for every product that is designed to highlight both its own identity and customer requirements. Promoting the intrinsic quality of every product has always ensured the excellence of B&B Italia products. Each authentic B&B Italia and Maxalto product is supplied with an authenticity document (Product data sheet-Guarantee) stating that the product is original, and is aligned to B&B Italia quality standards. The “Product data sheet-Guarantee” informs the customer about materials, maintenance, warranty, manufacturer and designer. Quality that stands the test of time The unique industrial production technique of B&B Italia upholstered furniture, along with the quality of materials used, guarantees B&B Italia clients a product that is far more durable than the best standards in the sector. B&B Italia guarantees the frame of its padded furniture (sofas, armchairs, chairs and beds) for 10 years from the date of manufacture (as stated on the “Product data sheet - Guarantee”). The production technology of “polyurethane foam mouldings,” which was introduced into the sector by the founder of the company in 1966, revolutionized the industrial production of upholstered models, guaranteeing higher and constant quality standards. Precisely, the process entails ”sinking” a steel frame in the mould, which is then filled with bayfitrall polyurethane by cold injection. B&B Italia guarantees the cover, the feet, the materials, accessories and mechanisms making up the product for 26 months from the date of manufacture (as stated on the enclosed “Product data sheet - Guarantee”) against any manufacturing defect including lacquering and frame of not upholstery products. Fabrics B&B Italia's textile collection is the result of in-depth research into weaves, natural and synthetic yarns which, often produced on an exclusive-rights basis, harmoniously adorn each original B&B Italia product to merge into any home environment. The extensive offer of the fabric and leather collection is designed to meet the demands of an international market. Fabrics undergo the following set of quality tests to assess their quality and durability: resistance to abrasion, the formation of pilling, light fastness, resistance to traction, resistance to laceration and to rubbing. To further improve performance, some of our fabrics are subjected to finishing treatments, such as, for instance: - Stain proofing: chemical finish by impregnating the fabric with macromolecular substances that prevent liquids from being absorbed by fabric fibre. - Sanfor: finish aimed at stabilizing a fabric. applied usually to fabrics meant to be washed in water. - Buffing: mechanical finish aimed at obtaining a "peach skin" effect. the fabric surface is exposed to abrasion to achieve a softer feel. - Fireproofing: chemical finish, by impregnation or back-coating of the fabric with products that enhance its fire resistance. Woods To highlight the distinctive characteristics of the wood and its natural quality, B&B Italia subjects wood to an open pore finish. For finishes in light oak, black oak, or smoky oak, before applying a clear finish, the surface is subjected to a “brushing” process that highlights the grain in the wood. For grey coloured oak, the colour applied is designed not to alter the original characteristics of the wood itself. Oak used in B&B Italia’s productions is solely ribbed American rift white oak. This material typically presents a straight but irregular grain, sometimes with a coarse texture. Rosewood is native to Latin America and comes from cultivations that are controlled and managed by local governments. The grain and chromatic reflections of this noble wood make it unique and inimitable in the framework of wood types. Teak, which is solely used for the outdoor collection, is one of the most precious tropical woods for its exceptional resistance to atmospheric agents. this special feature is based on the fact that it contains a natural oily resin that makes it highly resistant, thus enhancing the degree of waterproofing. Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses.
