RENE PROU
ARMCHAIR, c. 1920
Carved sycamore gondola armchair resting on tapered front legs adorned with stepped, carved palmettes, extending upwards to form the armrest supports, which terminate in scrolls. The rear legs are cabriole. The outward-flaring armrests merge into an enveloping backrest, its scalloped upper edge forming a succession of graceful, rounded curves.
