This large shepherdess, caned on the seat and back, flared upwards and carved with decorations of acanthus leaves, ribboned for the latter, rests on turned and fluted legs.
The scalloped belt is decorated with a frieze and sculpted rosettes.
The armrests are covered with cuffs in an olive fabric with braid.

The second wing chair, with a smaller backrest, is crafted identically.
Note that the sides of each shepherdess have double canework.
Finally, the footrest, or shelf, sub-trapezoidal in shape, also caned, rests on four similar feet.
The belt also has festooning and carved rosette motifs.

These three elements when put together constitute a beautiful and important broken duchess.

Functional and timeless, this broken duchess will appeal to lovers of antique and crafted furniture with great mastery.
