AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Savonarola Neo-Renaissance carved wood armchair – X‑shaped or 'curule' seat from the Neo-Renaissance era (late 19th century / early 20th century, circa 1880–1900).
Traditional solid wood construction (probably walnut or chestnut) carved across the entire base, backrest, and armrests. Adorned with vegetal motifs (acanthus leaves), scrolls, and splendid mascarons carved with grotesque faces inspired by mythology on the uprights.
Presence of assembly numbers carved in Roman numerals ('VII') on the tenons of the structure, attesting to traditional cabinetmaking workmanship.
Generally good condition with a beautiful original patina. Shows some normal signs of use due to its age, with slight natural shrinkage cracks on the seat that do not affect the piece's solidity.
