Crafted in solid hardwood with a warm, time-softened patina, the chair features a continuous horseshoe-shaped back, slender straight legs, and restrained proportions characteristic of early modernist and late Secession furniture. The backrest is decorated with delicate square inlays, adding a discreet ornamental accent without disturbing the overall architectural clarity of the form.

The seat is upholstered in a later fabric, neutral in tone, which complements the character of the piece while remaining easily adaptable to different interiors. Structurally sound and well preserved, showing minor age-related wear consistent with its period.
