Description:
• Seat: The upholstered cushion features a muted floral damask fabric in soft tones of beige, ivory, pale peach, and faded mint. The subtle shimmer and pattern suggest an older, refined textile—very classic and elegant.
• Base: The wooden frame is truly the star here. It features an X-base construction with two gracefully curved legs that cross at the center, secured with a turned stretcher bar. The legs are fluted and carved with delicate foliate motifs at the joints.
• Finish: The wood is finished in a distressed, antiqued gold or ochre wash, with darker accents settling into the grooves and carvings. It has a perfectly weathered patina—evoking a French or Italian neoclassical style, possibly from the mid-20th century or inspired by older designs.
