The generously sized design is marked by its curved, sweeping wing back with fully buttoned back and seat details. The chair has been fully reconditioned and newly upholstered in a sumptuous Pierre Frey 'Gabriel' velvet. This long-pile wool velvet has a rich, deep navy blue tone. The sculptural legs and armrests are made of solid stained beech wood in a warm, inviting tone.

The chair is in very good, reupholstered condition. Minor signs of wear consistent with age and use are present on the wood. Ready for placement. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
