About the Item

Low, deep, and wide, this pair of armchairs is exceptionally comfortable, and the gold and black color scheme is very dramatic. What’s most distinctive about them from a design point of view is the spiral fluting of the legs and arm supports. This unusual detail, and the color scheme, mark the chairs Italian. The silk-satin cushions have big bow tiebacks.
