Don't you just love this chair?  It was given to me by a very dear friend who moved houses and didn't need it. I absolutely love the shape. It needs some minor restoration but I plan to leave the gold corduroy fabric on the seat and just replace the fabric on the back of it. 

It actually folds up so is very versatile. And it's incredibly comfortable. I've no idea where it originated, i.e., what style is it? Italian? Moroccan? Who knows?

In the second picture you can see where I've placed it in the sitting room opposite the door where you enter the room and it makes a great focal point especially with the artwork above it.
