The front legs shape caryatids, supported by golden balls. The chairs have no separate arm- supports the arm-rests are placed on the front legs. The square-shaped, prismatic back legs are slightly curved. A gilt heading of lotus leaves rests on the caryatids. The arm-rests join the rising back support in a curve. The seat, the side and the back are upholstered. The back-support is finished in a horizontal, lathe-turned rod.
