The cushioned drop in seat of rectangular form is upholstered in a gorgeous material with cream embroidered geometric diamond and beaded detail against gold ground, raised over a simple and moulded frieze with scrolling knuckle detail to each corner. Supported on elegantly tapering cabriole leg with a stunning arrangement of acanthus leaves and trailing bellhusk motifs on knee, terminating on a hairy paw and claw foot.
