Indian Neoclassical Style Chair

Someone has draped a swag over this chair, and it will never need ironing.

This neoclassical style chair comes from India and is contemporary, made of teak wood and silver. Silver-clad furniture has a long history in Indian princely courts, and the neoclassical taste borrowed its swags and columns from ancient Greece and Rome. A silver cloth falls in deep folds across the top of the back, between fluted posts topped with finials. The seat is covered in bold black and white striped hide. Reeded legs splay gently. It stands 41.5 inches high, 16 long and 18 deep.

Somewhere, a toga is missing.
