The design was produced by hand by a master carpenter in the Como area in the late 1940s.
The frame of the chair is in solid cherrywood, with a sculptural wing shaped back. The details of the intricately made elegant backrest and the graceful tapering legs demonstrate the particularly high level of craftsmanship of the maker. The elegant silhouette of the frames is completed by the curved line of the rear legs,

The chairs have been carefully restored and reconditioned, respecting and partially retaining the original patina of the wood. The upholstery has been renewed in a traditional manner, using high quality horsehair to create a comfortable and even seat. The ecru colored fabric is the beautifully structured 'Windsor' fabric by Tibor Reich. The upholstery is finished with an elegant braid trimming by Houlès throughout, its color matching with the fabric. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
