The rectangular upholstered backs are framed in molded wood, while carved floral rosettes accent the front corner blocks above fluted, tapered legs terminating in turned feet. The chairs have been structurally revised to ensure they are solid and stable, and the wood frames have been cleaned and polished with wax, preserving their warm patina and age-related character. The upholstery has been completely redone in a blue and cream striped herringbone fabric, with blue gimp trim finishing the seats and backs and a single bias piping accent along the outer backs. The crisp striped upholstery provides a fresh contrast against the warm wood frames while maintaining the tailored, architectural character of the Louis XVI design.
