Product Details
Beautiful elaborately carved walnut Sgabello chair late 19th century. The form originated in Renaissance Italy, and its popularity spread throughout Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Sgabello were typically made of walnut and included a variety of carvings and turned elements. The legs could be either two decorated boards with a stretcher for support, or three separate ornamented and carved impost legs. This seat was often placed in hallways, carved with a family's imprese or emblem drawn from its coat-of-arms. Its primary purpose was decorative, therefore the seat was not necessarily comfortable.
