This is a traditional captain's-style armchair, often called a library or barrister's chair. It has a curved barrel back that sweeps into padded arms, upholstered in glossy black leather (or leather-look vinyl) with close-set antique-brass nailhead trim along the back, arms, and seat rail. The upholstered seat sits on a cherry- or mahogany-finish hardwood frame with shaped arm supports and tapered, slightly splayed legs. It's a classic office, study, or den chair.
