About this work

Bergère of walnut, upholstered in green broadcloth with a loose cushion and head roll. The furniture rests on S-shaped legs, which merge into the seat frame without interruption. The semi-circular seat frame is carved at the front. The armrests have cushions and end in volutes. The armrest supports are placed backwards, originate from the seat frame and merge S-shaped into the armrests. These again merge without interruption into the cheeks of the back frame. The upper rail is carved. Profile strips around.
