Item Description
"Zeus" chair wirh red lacquer finish from the Oscar de la Renta collection through Century Furniture.
The red Oscar chair is a fabulous five-legged creation, modeled after one in de la Renta's Park Avenue home, compels startled glances . . . and then, closer examination. Is it a bench? A chair? A work of art in a category all its own?
Its ribbon-like back is made up of two stylized long-necked eagles, whose
claws grasp the seat base and whose heads come together above a face
representative of the mythological Zeus. Layers of carved acanthus leaves
sheathe the arms and fluted legs; a Greek key border circumnavigates the
apron.
The seat is toppped with a soft cushion, so it's as luxurious to the body
as it is to the eye. Finished in Crimson Red.
