About the Item

This Don José style chair dates to the 18th century and was produced in Portugal circa 1750. The piece is crafted in carved wood and finished with rich polychromy accented by gold leaf details, reflecting the decorative language and craftsmanship associated with the Don José period. The chair features a chambrana connecting the legs, a structural and ornamental element characteristic of Iberian furniture from this era. The carved wood structure is enhanced by the applied polychrome surface, which adds visual depth and highlights the sculptural qualities of the form. Traces of the original upholstery remain, offering insight into the chair’s historical use and original appearance. Conceived as both a functional seating piece and a decorative object, the chair embodies the formal richness and artisanal skill of 18th century Portuguese furniture. Its expressive carving, gilded accents, and surviving original elements give it strong historical presence. Today, the chair stands as a representative example of Don José period design, suitable for collectors and interiors that value historical craftsmanship and character.
