The back having two vertical panels of cane-work in a pierced frame carved with undulating scrolls of crested foliage and flanked by ball-knopped barleytwist uprights with carved artichoke finials. The scroll-end arms, which are very typical of the period, are enriched with acanthus sprays on ball-knopped posts leading down to a caned seat with turned legs united by a turned H-stretchers and a pierced foliate carved rail to the front.
