About this work

Armchair of walnut, upholstered with bronze-colored floral damask. The furniture rests on splayed legs connected by an equally splayed H-shaped cross and front stretcher; between the splay a bead is placed. The houses have punched rosettes. The armrest supports are hollowed, run up into the back frame and end in volutes, which, like the back panel, are decorated with acanthus leaves with a scaled midrib.
