The reclining armchair has a wooden frame with a dark brown finish. The chair's four legs are connected by stretchers. The legs are turned, and the front legs are slightly curved. The chair features a high back with two rounded finials on top. The chair is upholstered in yellow velvet fabric with a black and gold floral pattern running down the center of the back and seat. The armrests are also upholstered in yellow velvet. The chair is positioned at a slight angle, with the front facing right. The background is a gradient of blue-green.
