WHILE IT TOOK SOME TIME TO GET HERE, I AM PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE. IT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN THE NEW IMPERIAL PALACE HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IT HAS A GOLD & BLACK DESIGN MOTIF, AND IS WELL BUILT AND W/CARE BY THE ARTISANS!!

Hail Caesar! Hehe. Seriously though, this chair is really nice. It is wider than an average chair and has plenty of room and is surprisingly comfortable considering that it is so decorated. Most decorative chairs are not very comfortable at all.

These chairs are heavy, large and heavily gilded. The cushions are very nice, but not reversable. I have them in my livingroom alcove beside a French commode and they blend in well with all my antiques. Everytime that I look at them I like them better, but keep in mind, they are ornate. They have a slight Regancy look to them at first glance and I think they look nicer from a distance.
