AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant Savonarola chair by Florentine artisans in walnut wood.

Made in the mid-20th century in Italy, specifically in the Tuscany region.
The Savonarola chair is a folding chair, closing like a book and composed of serpentine-curved elements and cross X. The backrest features a stylized lily, the Florentine symbol, while it is adorned with floral decorations.

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

In good overall condition, normal signs of wear and age (see photos). The chair has recently undergone restoration with termite protection treatment and a wax finish for the wood. The ring on one of the armrests is missing. Dimensions: 95 cm height x 60 cm length.
