:
square legs, slightly sabre-shaped at the front and back, support the upholstered seat covered in green leather. A wide backrest, veneered with selected mahogany and decorated with carved hand knobs in the shape of lion heads, follows the semi-circular shape of the frame. The gold-coloured brass nails of the upholstery enrich the play of colours between the iridescent red tones of the mahogany wood and the moss-green leather cover of the seat.

similar armchairs are known from various parisian furniture manufacturers, such as the jacob brothers.
