This model, in the spirit of Louis Majorelle's creations and after Cugini Lanzani, is distinguished by its particularly decorative architecture, combining elegant curves, stylized plant motifs, and the asymmetry typical of Art Nouveau.
The backrest, composed of two vertical sections surmounted by tall openwork finials, displays delicate motifs of blooming flowers, stems, and carved foliage.
The two backrests are joined by an elegant openwork central panel, adorned with a small medallion decorated with tapestry and floral motifs.
The armrests, with their sinuous lines, harmoniously extend the overall movement, while the legs have a slender and organic design.

The tapestry upholstery in shades of green, brown, and ecru, with its floral motif, complements the istic character of this piece.
