This iconic design features a dramatic oval medallion back framed by deeply fluted detailing, gracefully curved arms, and tapered fluted legs with block feet.

The chair is upholstered in a warm golden ochre fabric with a subtle grid pattern that beautifully complements the cream-painted wood frame, highlighting the fluted apron, arms, and back surround. A timeless and sophisticated piece that works equally well in Hollywood Regency, Neoclassical, Transitional, or Postmodern interiors.

The chair is unmarked, which is common for Donghia seating of this period, but the design, scale, and craftsmanship are consistent with known examples of the Grand Flute model by John Hutton.

Dimensions:
28.5" w x 24.0" d x 38.0" h / Inches
Seat 17.5"
Arm h 26"

Condition:
Good vintage condition. The upholstery is clean and presents well with no major stains or tears. The painted wood frame shows minor scuffs, particularly on the arms and legs, consistent with age and normal use (see close-up photos). Structurally solid, sturdy, and comfortable.
