Description from the seller
Mahogany armchair, Empire style, with dolphins carved into the armrests. With a loose seat cushion and gold-colored upholstery.

Style: The piece of furniture shows typical Empire characteristics, such as the use of dense and symmetrical designs. Mahogany wood
Decorations: Pay attention to the bronze or gilded ornaments (ormolu mounts) on the top of the backrest and the carved motifs on the armrests, which often depict eagles, laurel wreaths, or other mythological figures.
Upholstery: The armchair is upholstered with a velvet or velour fabric in a golden-yellow or olive tint, which contributes to the luxurious appearance that is characteristic of the style.
