Set consisting of a three-seater sofa, two armchairs and twelve Elizabethan chairs with rich green velvet upholstery. The whole set, made of mahogany wood, has cabriole-style legs on the front, carved with mouldings that extend into the front skirt, while the back legs are undecorated. The seats of the armchairs and chairs adopt a trapezoidal design, with a mixtilinear profile, and the oval backs, which are wider towards the moulded edge, are joined to the seat by synthesised scrolls. Particularly noteworthy is the work on the back of the sofa, with its marked curvature typical of the Elizabethan style.
