A deep seat and a rich sea colored fabric make for a splendidly subtle Rococo Revival piece (subtle and Rococo Revival, two terms that rarely make an appearance in the same sentence). This fantastically comfortable family heirloom needed a little refreshing for the 21st century. I selected a delicate, radial dandelion pattern to echo the chair’s original nature theme without overwhelming the incised flowers scattered along the chair frame. The channel back was a challenge, but due care was taken to align each dandelion with each channel, and perfection was obtained.
