About this work

Armchair of beechwood, painted blue and white. The furniture has an upholstered seat and rests on conical legs with cannelures. The armrest supports are in the form of Tuscan colonettes. The armrests have cushions. The back consists of four Tuscan columns supporting arcades with flat-carved acanthus leaves and free-standing Tuscan fluted colonettes on either side. The upholstery has been renewed.
