Armchair (2) - Walnut

Pair of high-backed armchairs in turned walnut, with flat shelf-like arms on turned balusters and cross-joined legs. The backs feature panels in Cordovan leather impressed and gilded with a central rosette within a geometric frame, edged by dense studding — a style linked to the tradition widespread in Italy between the 16th and 17th centuries for ceremonial furniture.
Seat recently restored and reupholstered in gold satin.
Both chairs show a metal sliding reinforcement to stabilize.
There are cracks in the leather of both armchairs (to be restored).
Restorations.
Provenance: from a refined connoisseur’s private collection.
