About this work

Armchair of walnut, upholstered with blue velvet. The furniture rests on baluster-shaped legs, connected by a swaying X-shaped cross. The sides are closed, the armrests curl outwards. The high back is semi-circular at the top and has cheeks that emerge from the armrests. The upholstery is fastened with nails with gilded heads, which on the front of the armrests show a spiral motif.
