About this work

Armchair of beechwood, upholstered and resting on diagonally placed S-shaped legs, which end in volutes and merge into the carved seat rails. The semi-circular seat frame is carved at the front; the back frame on all four sides. The light C-shaped armrests with cushions and volutes at the ends slope outward and continue into the back frame with a decorated upper rail. The armrest supports run from the seat frame backwards and merge S-shaped into the armrests. Profile strips emphasize the contour.
