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.
