The rounded, scalloped front seat frame carries decorations in a floral motif; as does the upper rail of the long upholstered back frame which is slightly scalloped at the bottom and sides. The straight S-shaped armrests are supported by rearward placed straight S-shaped supports with volute and acanthus leaf decoration.
