Description
A truly theatrical antique armchair, fully restored and reimagined in rich black leather and deep black velvet. This extraordinary throne-like piece features intricately carved cresting and classical motifs, with a commanding silhouette that merges Gothic Revival and Renaissance Revival influences. The backrest boasts ornate embroidered detailing on the velvet panel, while the oversized seat and padded arms offer comfort without compromising on drama. The entire frame has been carefully refinished in a dark, high-gloss tone that enhances its sculptural form.
