The exposed wood frame features carved swan-head (gooseneck) arms, a defining Empire motif, with subtly carved legs ending in scroll feet. Finished in a dark stained hardwood, likely walnut or mahogany.

The chair has a fully upholstered back and a loose seat cushion upholstered in a light-toned damask fabric with a restrained botanical pattern. Construction and cushioning reflect mid-century production rather than 19th-century manufacture. A solid example of Empire revival furniture that works well alongside antiques or as a counterpoint in more contemporary interiors. See less
