The chairs' backs, seats, and armpads are upholstered and eged with brass-headed nails. The chairs' backs are rectangular, wider at the top than at the bottom. The chairs' top rails are carved in leaf designs on a narrow project-center cornices that groove in concave side curves. Pyramided acanthus finial surmounts each side rail. The chair arms terminate in scrolls above curved supports. The chairs' bowed seat rail rests on fluted and tapered legs, terminating in plain tapered feet. The chairs' forelegs are surmounted by cubical blocks.
