It features a full backrest composed of horizontal planks, framed by shaped side supports forming enclosed armrests. The sides are slightly curved and cut in a subtle arched profile, extending into solid legs with a distinctive silhouette.

The seat is made of thick planks, softened and worn by time, displaying a beautifully aged surface. The back and sides reveal a direct, honest construction with simple lines, characteristic of rural craftsmanship.

The wood has developed a warm brown patina, with visible wear, cracks, minor losses, and irregularities fully consistent with age and long use, contributing to the piece’s authenticity.

The structure remains sound and stable.
