A fully Rococo suite, characterised by an elegant serpentine silhouette and refined carved ornament. The walnut frames are enriched with gilt highlights accenting the profiles, mouldings and key points of the carving, enhancing both the quality of execution and the flowing rhythm of the forms. The backs and seats have a curving, enveloping shape, conceived to combine comfort with an air of distinction.
The decorative repertoire alternates the pellacce motif—typical of 18th-century Ligurian decoration—with foliate ornament of leaves and scrolls, concentrated at the junctions and stretchers where the carving becomes fuller and more animated.
