Rosewood roundback armchair with curved crest rail and central splat, seen from the front on grey.

Roundback Armchair: Lohan Type

A roundback armchair of reddish-brown rosewood stands against a pale grey backdrop, seen straight on. Its curved yoke crest rail, upright central splat, and woven seat panel are set in a clean, spare frame with visible, smoothly finished joinery.

Look closer: A dark mark on the front stretcher shows the natural grain of the rosewood.
