About this work
Folding chair of walnut with leather back and seat. The semicircular legs and stiles are connected by a hinge, decorated from the front with a copper plate. The legs are double-volute-shaped cut out at the height of the accolade-shaped curved rungs. The stiles and legs show turned dolphins on the front, respectively with a crowned naiad, a triton and with branches with acorns and leaves. The armrests, ending in a volute, show a leaf motif. Wooden knobs added to the stiles after 1957.
