The combination of classical design and timeless naturalistic motifs are the essence of the genre, expressed here in solid walnut, with an original painted finish that has achieved a lovely patina over the past century, made only more alluring by the gold highlights that accentuate the beautiful carved accents that appear on the arched seatback crown, with a motif that is inspired by rams' horns with scrolls, florals and foliates to complement the design. The remainder follows a neoclassical form, with tailored lines, pyramidal accent blocks, and beautifully tapered, fluted & reeded front legs.
