Know before you buy
The seat height is 17 3/4 inches, which is a standard height for most dining or occasional chairs.
Yes, the silk cushion is designed as a tie-on seat, allowing you to easily remove or replace it as needed.
With an arm height of 26 inches, you should check the clearance of your table apron. If your table sits lower than 26 inches, the arms will not slide underneath.
Dust the wood frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. For the cane, you can occasionally wipe it with a slightly damp cloth to keep it from becoming brittle, ensuring it stays taut and clean.
While the chair features delicate Regency-inspired details, it is constructed from durable acacia wood and cane, making it suitable for regular use in a living room, study, or as an accent chair.
