Description

This cathedra or chayère chair is conceived following rules of monumental architecture. The seat can be lift open to reveal a chest. Both curved arm-rests are supported by a baluster. The high back-rest is framed by two grooved pilasters. In its centre appears a coat-of-arms above a cut-out leather motif. 

The slightly overlapping canopy topping the cathedra is supported by two foliated consoles.
