About the Item

PAIR OF POLYCHROMED WROUGHT-IRON AND SADDLE-LEATHER SAVONAROLA CHAIRS With cerule form, probably early 20th century 33 1/2" H x 18 3/8" D x 26" W; 19 1/4" H to seat A very compelling form, this classical "Savonarola" chair is crafted entirely by hand using forged iron that shows every trace of the blacksmith's work throughout the surface. They are in a cerule form with hammered spade feet, the legs joined with a central pivot point at the center of each cyma-curvature, this joint decorated with a wonderful iron rosette on both the front and back. The seat and seat-back are slung with leather that is affixed with rawhide lacing, the seat-back decorated with two beautifully formed finials with ruby-red and part gilt highlights to the surface. Condition: Distressed wrought-iron with loss to polychroming and part gilding throughout; incredibly strong and stable; leather is modern and in good condition with only minor wear. ref. 311ESB30P  *We also have these chairs available individually - check our gallery inventory to view the single chairs* About silla antiques art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.
