Description

This elegant walnut chair features a traditional, still medieval structure, with its high seat and frame-like crossbar.

On the front, a wide crossbar features a symmetrical carved decoration of beautiful scrolled acanthus foliage, centered by a lovely winged cherub head carved in high relief.

The backrest and seat retain their original leather upholstery, secured by two rows of nails.

The front legs are vigorously turned, while the back legs are straight.

Finely crafted, this chair stands out as a rare and beautiful example of the Italian Renaissance ; it ranks among the finest ceremonial seats, bearing witness to that era.
