Two upholstered armchairs with gold accents. The armchairs have a brown frame with gold details and small black feet. The armchairs have cream-colored upholstery with a red design; one shows a medallion on the backrest, while the other displays a scenic design. The armrests are gold. Both chairs feature intricate gold designs on the front edge of the seat. The chair on the left faces forward, while the one on the right is angled to the left. The background is gray with shadows cast by the armchairs.
