An ornate grotto armchair takes the form of a great scalloped shell back in sea-green, with gilded dolphin-shaped arms and carved, gilt cabriole legs ending in a pearlescent seat. The whimsical rococo styling evokes eighteenth-century Venetian grotto furniture.

This decorative accent chair suits an elegant parlor, conservatory, or seaside villa interior in a dollhouse or fine diorama. Place it against paneling with a small table and drapery to build a luxe period room.
