About the Item

Classical touches are evident as the Ionic column profile of the splat on the seat back to scrolled carvings rounding out the toprail and slope of the arms. Firm but comfortable seats are upholstered in a pale green linen outlined in double-welt cording of a terracotta hue. Please view the detailed images to see more of these timeless armchairs.
