AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For sale is an exceptional, hand-carved hall chair (throne chair) in the distinctive brutalist style of the 1960s, made in Spain. The chair captivates with its sculptural, tall backrest depicting an artistic, deep relief of a medieval knight in full armor with spear and shield. The design combines the bulky aesthetics of Brutalism with elements of Spanish historicism (Renaissance/Gothic reception), visibly also in the characteristic pointed-arch cutouts of the leg construction. An absolute eye-catcher and a striking character piece for eclectic and brutalist interiors.
Era: Mid-Century Modern / 1960s
Origin: Spain
Style: Brutalism / Spanish Historicism
Material: Oak wood / hardwood, solid, dark stained
Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-related, beautiful patina and minimal signs of use in the wood (see detail photos). Structurally completely stable.
