Chair (2) - Walnut - Hall chair, stool

Pair of carved wooden seats – Italy, 18th-19th century Provenance: Italy (central-northern area) Material: solid carved wood (probably walnut) Technique: full-round manual carving Number of pieces: pair Description Refined pair of representative seats in solid wood finely carved, attributable to the Italian production of the 18th century, with a fully Baroque taste. The tall contoured backrests feature rich decoration of volutes, foliage and palmettes, culminating at the top with a crest carved with strong expressive character, an element typical of ceremonial and noble furnishings of the period. The horizontal band beneath is adorned with rosette motifs and fluting, while the lower, massive and carved structures give the seats an imposing stage presence. The solid seat, without upholstery, confirms a representative rather than everyday use. The carving is deep, continuous and structural, not applied, with slight asymmetries that attest to artisanal workmanship. The dark original patina, obtained from the natural aging of the wood and from ancient waxes, gives great warmth and authenticity to the whole. Condition In good conservation condition, with normal signs of time and use consistent with the age. Structurally solid. Small modern restorations noted. Highly decorative furnishings, ideal for: reception rooms grand entrances historic interiors or antique collections high-end scenographic installations Sold in pair.
