Armchair of mahogany with yellow silk upholstery featuring a central motif on the seat and back, and further decorated with small rosettes. The legs taper downwards. The front legs rest on small claw feet; the rear legs are sabre-shaped. The back is curved backwards. The armrest supports end in a green-painted Egyptian head with gilded hair. Below them are a gilded bronze palmette and rosette. The straight armrests end in flower cups at the back.
