Monk chair

This corner side chair is a typical Swedish monastery style chair, made in the first half of the 20th century. It has a patinated oak frame with beautiful handmade carving patterns throughout. Each of these monk chairs is unique with the intricately carved patterns and markings. Originally these chairs were used without cushions but the previous owner, a professional upholsterer, made a removable triangular cushion with a floral motif. Some small imperfections but the chair is in good, sturdy condition. A very decorative piece that pairs very well with our Swedish carved candelabra.
