Leather-covered Walnut Armchair

Italian 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an ornate wooden chair. The chair has a rich, dark wood frame with a high back adorned by intricately carved details and gold-colored embellishments. The backrest is upholstered with what seems to be a leather cover embossed with a decorative pattern and bordered by metallic studs. The seat also appears to match the backrest, both trimmed with a fringe-like detailing. The armrests extend outward and appear solidly constructed, complementing the sturdy build of the chair. The chair's legs and base have a carved interlocking design.
