Armchair of mahogany. The furniture is upholstered and rests on diagonally placed, straight S-shaped legs that flow without interruption into the seat frame. The seat frame is semicircular and scalloped at the front; scalloped front rail. The armrest supports are placed backward, straight S-shaped, and splay slightly outward. The C-shaped armrests have cushions. The hollowed back frame rests on short supports. The stiles are scalloped, as is the top rail, which has a pierced flower in the center.
