This print showcases a stunning side chair from the late 17th century. Crafted with beech wood and adorned with exquisite upholstery, this piece is a true testament to the artistry of its time. The chair features spiral turned legs and uprights, along with a spiral stretcher that adds an elegant touch. The highlight of this chair is undoubtedly its original Turkeywork upholstery, depicting stylized flowers in vibrant shades of blue, green, red, pink, and cream. Although the black background has been lost over time, the tapestry decoration remains strikingly beautiful. The upholstery has been carefully mounted on a conservation foundation to preserve its delicate nature. Modern fringing in various colors adorns the edge of the seat and bottom of the chairback, adding a contemporary twist to this historical masterpiece.
