Pair of 19th Century Italian Renaissance Carved Walnut Sgabello Hall Chairs
About the Item
Decorate a hallway with this well carved pair of antique Sgabello chairs. Crafted of walnut in Italy circa 1860, each Renaissance chair stands on curved legs, decorated in the center with a female face figure, and embellished with shell and foliage motifs. The tall and removable back features a stylized crown shape at the pediment; there's a center crest medallion flanked with two female figures on each side and adorned with swag decor. The chairs are in excellent condition with a rich walnut patina, with one chair a bit darker than the other.
Known as Sgabelli ( from the Latin word Scabellum meaning stool), a Scabello is a type of chair typical of the Italian Renaissance; it was usually made of walnut and included a variety of carvings and turned elements. This king of exuberant backstool was often placed in hallways, carved with a family's crest or emblem drawn from its coat-of-arms. Its primary purpose was decorative, therefore the seat was not necessarily comfortable without adding a cushion.
