Description from the seller

Elegant Savonarola chair by Florentine artists in walnut wood.

Made in the mid-20th century in Italy, specifically in the Tuscany region.
The Savonarola is a folding chair, foldable like a book and comprised of serpentine curved elements and X-crossed ones.

The term "Savonarola" derives from the name Girolamo Savonarola (1452 - 1498), in whose era the chair of this type was still preserved in his cell at the San Marco convent in Florence, where he lived from 1482 until his death.

In generally good condition, normal signs of wear and age (see photos). The chair has recently been restored with termite treatment and wax for wood treatment.
Dimensions: 85 cm height x 60 cm length.
