EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable folding chair dating back to the 17th century. Crafted from walnut by the Netherlandish School, this exquisite piece of furniture measures 100x74.5x44.3 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. What makes this chair truly exceptional is its historical significance as a seat of honor for emperors and bishops. Adorned with intricate carvings, the front legs and posts are embellished with elegant dolphins and crowned Tritons, while a majestic lion's head graces the hinge on the front. The leather seat, secured by large copper nails, adds an extra touch of luxury to this opulent creation. As we delve into its details, it becomes evident that every element has been meticulously designed to exude grandeur and sophistication. This masterpiece not only reflects the skillful craftsmanship of Dutch artisans during their golden age but also serves as a testament to their penchant for ornate decoration. Capturing both beauty and functionality in one frame, this folding chair transports us back in time to an era where artistry met practicality seamlessly. Its presence evokes admiration for those who once occupied such esteemed seats while leaving us awe-inspired by its sheer elegance. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every aspect of this magnificent chair through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricacies without being physically present at the museum itself.
