The low seating, free of bulky armrests and with a rounded upholstered shape, is typical of conversation chairs designed for the drawing rooms of the upper middle class of the era. Backrest Design: The turned columns connecting the seat to the curved backrest fuse revivalist style with the geometric lightness that foreshadowed modern design. This chair is an Edwardian-style armchair in ebonized wood with period gilt upholstery and springs.
