Armchair upholstered in velvet and damasked cloth. Straight, horizontal seat and back with transversal wood framing. Filled and lined with red velvet, with bronze tacking in the shape of a rosette and fringes. On the velvet at the back there is yellow damasked cloth, trimmed with decorative fringes. Vertical back supports with top finishing decorated with corbels. The back legs are bent backwards at the height of the seat. The front legs are decorated on their face side with a rectangular vertical moulding, remaining straight to the top in order to serve as a support for the arms, which are narrow and thick, slightly curved and finished off in the shape of a simplified spiral. Fretted front facings, a derivation of the "ribbon" facing, jagged back, with both fastened with screws in order to facilitate disassembly of the chair. Side bolsters with jagged lower parts.
