A high-backed, dark-brown walnut armchair features weathered leather upholstery accented with intricate gold patterns. Carved, gilded finials crown the rectangular backrest, which displays a large central medallion. Rows of dark metal studs fasten the leather. A dusty green tassel fringe hangs beneath the backrest and the patterned seat band. Square armrests sit on baluster-turned supports, and the chair's legs rest on flat, elongated wooden runners.
