Savonarola chair in ancient walnut

This magnificent walnut armchair, or chair, dates from the italian renaissance or is in style. Far descended from the roman curule chair. The elegance of the seat is based on the contrast between virtuosity and solidity. The seat is made up of thin, juxtaposed bars. Skates, armrests and back support with florets stop the curves and ensure the stability of the furniture. Ingenious, it is enough to lift the backrest to fold the chair with a single gesture. It is impossible to know that the chair folds when it is opened! It's probably all about. This sublime chair has a hand-carved backsplash and is said to date from the first half of the 19th century. What a style!.
