8323 Empire Style Scrolled Armchair

This armchair features a light-toned hardwood frame, likely cherry or stained beech, with a polished finish. The standout architectural feature is the pair of sweeping arms that terminate in large, tightly carved volute scrolls. The chair has a rectangular backrest with a slightly curved crest rail and a rectangular upholstered panel. The seat is generously padded and upholstered in a reddish-orange damask fabric featuring a large-scale floral pattern over a distinctive wavy 'vermicelli' background. The front legs exhibit a subtle sabre curve tapering towards the floor, while the rear legs are square-sectioned and raked outwards for stability. Minor surface abrasions are visible on the top wooden rail of the backrest. 38.5h x 24w x 21d
