It is a pleasure to see the front rail in crossbow form, the bow-shaped splat, the fine, gracious carving of shells, foliated scrolls and foliage, and above all the legs ending in scrolls. All this emphasises the very high quality of the original. This type of chair was used both as a armchair de cabinet (at a desk) and as a salon chair; the height of the seat is also suitable for sitting at a table.
