A large upholstered, carved and gilded armchair. The slightly arched rectangular back, trapezoid seat and arm pads are covered with floral tapestry. On the seat and back the tapestry has a russet ground, on the arm pads it has a darker a brown ground. The arms have scrolling, leaf-carved terminals and their curved supports are carved with fish scales, with a swag of laurel leaves twisted around. Around the base of the seat there is a carved and gilded bead-and-reel moulding. All raised on gilded cabriole legs carved with fish scales, scrolls and bell flowers, bound with a laurel leaf swag, terminating in leaf-carved, scrolled feet.
The finely carved cabriole legs and uprights to the arms have Rococo scrollwork forming panels round a ground with a scale-pattern, the front legs being entwined by a spiralling garland of bay leaves. The feet are formed by outward- and downward-rolling scrolls. The carved ends of the arm-rests are turned outwards and downwards in the manner usual at this period.
The seat, back, and arms are upholstered and covered with tapestry. The panels on the seat and back have a claret-coloured ground; those on the arms have a dark brown or black ground and appear to have been cut from larger panels of a different style from the rest. The main panels are each decorated with a large bunch of flowers composed in the late-Baroque manner, tied with a ribbon.
