Description from the seller

Renaissance Revival Savonarola armchair – Spain – second half of the 20th century

A beautiful and decorative armchair in Renaissance Revival style, inspired by the classic Italian Savonarola chairs from the Renaissance period.
This characterful piece was presumably manufactured in Spain during the second half of the 20th century and stands out for its rich carving, monumental presence, and authentic Mediterranean charm.

The chair is made of solid wood and features an impressive backrest with a central coat of arms beneath a crowned helm, surrounded by refined floral ornaments.
The distinctive X-shaped frame, elegantly worked armrests, and decorative details reference the rich tradition of Renaissance and historicizing furniture.

The seat and back are upholstered in red velvet and finished with decorative fringe, giving the piece a warm and luxurious look.

Thanks to its bold design, this chair is a real eye-catcher in both classical and eclectic interiors.

The piece is in good used condition, appropriate for its age and use, and has been carefully refreshed so that it can instantly take its place in a stylish interior.
