An unusual North European mahogany desk armchair with original brass castors. The neoclassical Empire chair has carved armrests with eagle heads, the design probably by a designer from Berlin or Copenhagen (e.g. Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Gustav Friedrich Hetsch, etc.). This armchair is very comfortable and has a nice figured veneer.
