Crafted from light-toned satinwood and accented with ebonized details. The sweeping Klismos-inspired top rails with scrolled ends reference ancient Greco-Roman seating. At the same time, the open backs are anchored by a bold, centrally placed ebonized wreath splat that reinforces the symmetry associated with the Biedermeier style. Graceful scroll arms terminate in tight volutes capped with ebonized spherical finials, and the rear legs display a gentle saber curve that adds both visual dynamism and structural balance.

The seats are newly reupholstered in a cream-colored textured velvet. See less
