The armchairs feature scroll arms; shield backs, shaped sides and a serpentine front. The back rails feature stunning floral carvings to the centre of the pediment and the frames are carved with acanthus leaves. The base of the chairs is firmly sprung so that you do not sink into the seats but at the same time they are extremely comfortable sit on. The undersides are upholstered with the original webbing.
