Item Description

Antique Italian carved walnut Savonarola Dante chair.

Top quality carving with grotesque heads to this unusual throne chair fit for a King or Queen! Unlike most of these Savonarola or Dante chairs this one has an upholstered seat and back panel. This is an amazing statement chair, more for looking at than sitting on so great in a hall.

Some people say the Savonarola chair should fold, whilst a Dante chair will have a fixed upholstered seat.

The original upholstery was worn so our in-house upholsterer has totally reupholstered it in a rich velvet which suits the design beautifully.

It’s difficult to date these Italian carved chairs in the Renaissance style exactly, but somewhere around late 19th and early 20th Century.

Condition
As with any piece of this age you must expect to see some small knocks and signs of wear if you look closely.

77cms widest, 74cms deep approx , 106.5cms back height, 47cms seat height at mid point
