The curved back flows into open arms with carved scroll terminals, while fluted front legs and gently sabered rear legs lend the chair its refined neoclassical character. The mahogany frame has been structurally revised to ensure it is solid and stable, then polished with wax to enhance the rich color and natural grain of the wood while preserving its character and patina. Newly upholstered in premium Italian tan leather, the seat is finished with hand-applied speckled brass nailhead trim above an olive green grosgrain band, introducing a subtle pop of color and tailored contrast to the warm mahogany frame. With its compact proportions, comfortable barrel back, and generous seat height, the chair is particularly well suited for use as a desk chair, while also working beautifully as an occasional or accent chair.
