About this work
Armchair made of two Indonesian wood species on baluster-shaped fluted front legs and rear legs that recede backwards, widen, and end as curved back posts with volutes. The smooth round armrests on baluster-shaped fluted supports lose their round shape and end in a narrowing upward movement next to the back posts. Rattan seat. The back has a high-placed lower rail, cross-shaped, wide band with three open circles with flower and pierced foliage, and a wide upper rail.
