About this work
Armchair of walnut. The furniture is covered with caning and has broken S-shaped legs decorated with a volute and acanthus leaf. The cross is X-shaped. The free-standing corner posts of the high back show houses and joints with acanthus leaf and end in vases. The arm supports in the form of S-volutes carry the armrests, which are hollowed and end in outward-facing volutes, decorated with acanthus leaf, as is the back panel. The houses have rosettes and the seat rails are decorated with acanthus leaf.
