The under-seat band has a mixtilinear and curved profile, delimited by a gilded reserve and lacquered in ivory. In the center it presents the characteristic rocaille motif composed of volutes and phytomorphic motifs. The four legs descend harmoniously with a curved and curvilinear movement, decorated with gilded rocaille carvings and ending with a gilded scroll foot.
