AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Savonarola chair with two knobs and rings at the ends of the armrests,
Made by Florentine artisans from beech wood.
Made in Italy in the mid-20th century, specifically in the region of Tuscany.
The Savonarola is a folding chair that closes like a book and is made up of curved, serpentine-shaped elements crossed in an X pattern.
The term “Savonarola” comes from the name of Girolamo Savonarola (1452–1498). A chair of this type, still preserved in his cell at the convent of San Marco in Florence, where he lived from 1482 until his death, is said to date from his time.
In good overall condition, the chair has recently been treated against woodworm.
The item will be shipped with a tracking number.
Please note: for all European islands, including the Canary Islands, Malta and Cyprus, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Israel, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Sweden, Greece, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the shipping cost will be agreed upon when the lot is awarded.
