Flanked by curving open arms with gooseneck front posts, this piece rests on a planked wooden seat, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional comfort. The chair stands on four straight legs, connected by an arch-shaped apron and reinforced with side stretchers, offering stability and durability. Its rich elm patina and charming silhouette make this chair a stunning decorative accent, ideal for a foyer, living room, or office space. Traditionally created for brides during wedding ceremonies, it now serves as a captivating historical piece that can add a touch of sophistication and a story to any modern home.
