Product description
Product description
An authentic carved chair from the late 19th century, distinguished by an exceptionally detailed hand-carved backrest featuring a majestic double-headed heraldic eagle. The carving displays impressive craftsmanship with beautifully sculpted relief and a subtle aged patina that emphasizes the piece’s originality.
The seat is upholstered in natural leather and decorated with brass studs, while the turned legs provide elegance and visual balance. This is a fully original historical item, not a contemporary reproduction.
Historical background
During the late 19th century, the Historicist movement revived earlier artistic styles, including Renaissance and Baroque influences. The double-headed eagle, a symbol of imperial authority and power, became a prominent decorative element in furniture designed for representative salons, noble residences, official chambers, and ecclesiastical interiors.
This chair is an excellent example of period craftsmanship, and its authenticity and preserved condition make it a valuable collectible piece.
