Its distinctive design features a circle-shaped backrest with three crosspieces and an armrest bracket that culminates elegantly in a stylized acorn, showcasing Zaccari's meticulous attention to detail and flair for decorative elements. The wood is meticulously stamped and stained green, adorned with intricate arabesque and spiral ornamentation. These decorative flourishes underscore Zaccari's prowess as both a designer and a craftsman, transforming the piece into a true work of art.
