Description from the seller

Savonarola chair in carved wood

Important Savonarola chair in carved wood, dating from the early 20th century. Characterized by the classic scissor-frame structure with curved and interwoven elements, this seat stands out for the richness of the carved decorations and for its remarkable stage presence.

The armrests terminate with elegant finely carved lion heads, while the removable backrest is enriched with embossed ornamental motifs featuring a central grotesque mask, volutes and Renaissance-inspired details. The frame, made with shaped slats and assembled according to the Savonarola chair tradition, provides solidity while giving the whole piece an aesthetic lightness.

The harmonious proportions, the quality of the carving, and the historic charm make this chair ideal for study rooms, lounges, libraries, or spaces furnished in a classical and Neo-Renaissance style.
