The generously upholstered, shaped back is surmounted by an elaborate carved crest, while the magnificent open scroll arms display particularly fine craftsmanship.

Upholstered in an attractive floral fabric featuring soft pink roses, delicate yellow flowers and muted green foliage against a pale background, the chair has a romantic and timeless appearance. The deeply buttoned back and generously padded seat provide comfortable seating.

The beautifully figured walnut has developed a lovely warm colour and patina, complementing the delicate upholstery and highlighting the quality of the carved decoration.
