Model taking up the Regency style productions, in particular of carpenters in seat like the Cresson, the general structure and the ornamentation are still influenced by the Louis XIV style with in particular the "H" spacer positioned parallel to the belt crosspieces and the shape in inverted console of the front and rear legs, which is an extension of the so-called "mutton bone" model belonging to the Louis XIII style but which here features moldings, small sculptures and worked windings.
