Description of a reclining armchair knwn as the 'sitzmachine' - some pictures can be found here: http://www.jfchen.com/itemdetails.php?id=111406.
Complete sentence reads: "Paire de fauteuils « Sitzmachine ». Bois vernissé façon acajou, à dossiers inclinable en arc de cercle, et accotoirs détachés à manchette plate à panneau évidé." That's all the context.
I am really at a loss here! Any pointers at all would be gratefully received! Thanks.

separate side panels with flat armrest on an openwork panel
Looking at the photos (see separate reference contrib.), this is how I'd describe it. I don't think there is anything hollow about it, this is about the openwork construction of the side panels.

Comment: "I think this is most likely. I was really struggling to see how the description fitted the pictures, but this make sense! Thanks for the help - to others who contributed as well."

Hello,
I think this is how we'd say in natural-sounding English.
