This is a top rail of a chair back, a gilded wood piece with a portion of the side's corners. On either end of the top rail are squares bordering sunken relief rosettes with four petals and rectangle portions of the side supports underneath. Two arcs from the corner squares meet a large cresting a basket of flowers in the center. With a wreath and swags of laurel below it, these elements are made of simple, pointed leaf shapes and two bunches of grapes out of the center basket. On the arc are carved borders and vertical lines that transition into simple diamond grid, enclosed by curls.

Here we have a single, wooden chair leg with gilded ornamentation, mint green paint and visible deterioration. The slight curve at the foot and slight curve near the top makes this wood portion cabriole, and is the front left leg. With mint green paint, there is a gilded line along the length of the leg that curves slightly inward at the top end, underneath the flower. The flower design is gilded and carved in relief, with center, petals, and leaves to the left and right. Above that is a carved, small, gilded ornamental band diagonal in direction with a straight bottom line and wavy line at the top. Above that is bare wood without paint with a small metal hook poking up from the top. There are two holes for nails stacked on top of each other: one on the band and one next to the flower. The foot has a bottom gilded leaf, wavy in shape and decorated in rays. Exposed wood at the bottom is from visible deterioration, which also is along the side in small flecks of exposed wood and paint chipping.
