Inspired by traditional porter's chairs, these generously proportioned armchairs feature dramatic 51-inch-high backs with gracefully arched, enveloping hoods, sculpted side wings, and comfortably padded arms.

Loose seat cushions, tailored upholstery, and exposed wood bases with scalloped aprons complete the distinctive design. The warm coral-pink velvet adds softness to their architectural silhouettes, making them equally appealing in a traditional library, sophisticated sitting room, or an eclectic contemporary interior.

An unusual matched pair with wonderful presence and a surprisingly manageable 29-inch width.

JUNE'S THOUGHTS
What appeals to me about these chairs is their wonderful sense of architecture. The gracefully hooded backs create a dramatic silhouette, yet their relatively modest width makes them surprisingly versatile. I can picture them flanking a fireplace, anchoring a library, or bringing a little unexpected personality to a contemporary sitting room. The salmon-pink velvet is especially appealing against dark woods, warm neutrals, or deep green walls. Finding a matched pair makes them all the more interesting.
