The chair features a tall, gently reclining back with beautifully shaped uprights terminating in carved scrolls. The upholstered armrests are supported by substantial, finely carved scrolling supports, decorated with foliate detailing.

The generous seat is raised on boldly turned and carved front legs, with gracefully swept sabre legs to the rear, all terminating in castors.

The oak frame has acquired a rich, warm colour and attractive patina, highlighting the quality of the carving and the distinctive design of the William IV period.
