content: Seen from the front. The back is a curved escutcheon supported below by a small angular panel with trellis. Most of the inside is upholstered with ribbons passing through rosettes in the upper scrolls of the escutcheon and ending on the back with tassels. The arms spring from the sides of the back and are supported by the front legs. The front of the frame of the seat and the back legs are similar to those in -2051. Usual background. On the verso is a part of evidently the same plan as -2052.
