The armrests are wavy and end in a curl before connecting to the seat. The band under the seat and the legs, wavy and arched, are carved, reproducing the type of rocaille decoration with phytomorphic elements.

The shine of the gold, enhanced by the rich carving, makes each armchair suitable for being combined with both period furniture and contemporary furniture.
