The deep black lacquered frame contrasts stylishly with the delicately shimmering, reddish-coral upholstery. The finely turned backrests and legs are testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the late 19th century. Particularly striking is the openwork backrest with its rounded arch – a characteristic detail of napoleonic design, inspired by the delicate chiavari chairs from italy.
