Decorations: Note 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 covered with a velvet or velour fabric in a golden-yellow or olive tint, contributing to the luxurious look that is characteristic of the style.
