  • Crafted in the Renaissance manner, for classic Italianate taste
  • Giltwood presents golden accent tones

  • Finished with maroon coloured borders surrounding a deep blue ground
  • Adorned with devotional scenes depicting the Madonna with the infant Jesus
  • Foliate patterns accentuate the shaped rest ends
  • Dressed to the base with protective suede leather cushion pads
