The Chair can be used as a dining Chair or as a desk chair with matching desk J5038.Turned baluster legs at the front and plain ones at the rear.

The turned spreader bars are copied and used just above floor level to reinforce front to back legs. The camel back of the Settee and the seat are upholstered in a dark red leather, a fabric favored on Jacobean furniture. The turnings on either side of the back are surmounted by finials.
