Beautifully curved armrests in a dark brown color add a dynamic appeal to the design. This chair by Halabala are unequaled in sculptural appearance and terse form. The chair was completely restored. The wooden parts and construction were redone, the upholstery is new. The fabric is a blue velvet with a grey velvet used as a lining and on the buttons.
