Description

This armchair kept the austerity effect of the medieval seats with its high straight back.
It stands on skates and its back feet are cut in square sections. The brace-shaped lateral skates are achieved by lion claws.

The arm-rests are crowned by folliage sticks with baluster-shaped supports emphasize the beauty of a dark coloured walnut.

The use of this type of seat was a privilege of the nobility.
