Scrolls, shell designs and floral motifs dominated during this period. This hand carved walnut armchair displays all of these beautifully with scroll arms embellished with acanthus leaf detail, shells carved on the apron and each segment on the x-stretcher has floral carvings as they meet a center rose medallion. New upholstery of ultrasuede in a warm camel color with nailhead trim makes a normally stately, formal chair, comfortable and inviting. less
