Hand‑carved from solid hardwood, Edward traces a classic French silhouette with crisp acanthus leaves, shell motifs, and fluted cabriole legs. The gilded finish is applied in thin layers, then lightly burnished to reveal warm undertones along the carving’s high points. Seats are sprung and webbed for longevity, paired with multi‑density cushioning that keeps posture upright without stiffness. The arms are sculpted with a gentle palm rest, and the back panel sits at a natural conversational angle for unhurried comfort.

Upholstered in a tapestry‑inspired jacquard, the fabric features fine metallic threads and framed welting that cleans the lines. A matching square side table echoes the chair’s corner rosettes and moulded apron, with a durable lacquered top for tea service or a reading lamp.

Together, the two armchairs and side table create a perfectly proportioned receiving set—refined in detail, balanced in comfort, and crafted to endure.
