This chair showcases all the hallmarks associated with Belter and his workshop: pierced foliate cresting, an elegant balloon back, and exceptional floral + vine carving that flows seamlessly into the seat rail and cabriole legs.
The frame is crafted from richly grained** rosewood** (a premium wood commonly used in Belter pieces), with a warm deep finish that highlights the intricacy of the carving. The chair retains its graceful profile from every angle—with pierced carving visible even on the back, making it ideal for floating in a room.
