Pair of Italian Renaissance Revival Sgabello Chairs, circa 1870
About the Item
A fine pair of Italian 19th century heavily carved Sgabello side chairs. The entire front surface of each is hand carved and is beautifully sculpted. In the entrance halls of Italian Palazzos they were always an eye-catcher. They demonstrated the wealth and importance of their owners and their families. These hall chairs were placed against the wall and subsequently didn’t need to be decorated on the back.
The condition is very good with a few scuffs which is common with use. None of the pieces of wood are broken off.

Design: Verner Panton, manufacturer: Vitra / Herman Miller Collection Measures: 24 3/4" Deep x 19 1/2" Wide x 32 1/4" High About the Designer and Chair Model: From the early 1950s, Panton had dreamt of making a stackable, cantilevered chair all in one piece. In 1956, he designed the S chair which can be considered a forerunner of the Panton chair. He saw it as an item of furniture in which the back, seat and legs were made of the same material and in one continuous piece. It was first produced in 1965. Panton made a series of sketches and design drawings for the Panton chair in the 1950s. In 1960, he created his first model, a plaster-cast, in collaboration with Dansk Akrylteknik. In the mid-1960s, he met Willi Fehlbaum, who, unlike many other producers, was fascinated with the drawings of his legless chair in plastic rather than wood, the favoured material of the times. Working closely with Fehlbaum, Panton produced a cold-pressed model using polyester strengthened with fibreglass. For the first time, an entire chair had been designed in one piece, without any legs. It became known as a free-swinger. The first rather heavy model, which required substantial finishing work, was subsequently improved and adapted to industrial production using thermoplastic polystyrene which led to a marked reduction in cost. In 1968, Fehlbaum, from Vitra, initiated serial production of the final version which was sold by the Herman Miller Furniture Company. It was varnished in seven colors. In 1979, however, production was halted as it became apparent that the material polystyrene was not sufficiently durable. Four years later, the model was again produced as the Panton chair Classic, this time in the rather more expensive material. Finally, in 1999, Vitra used...Category

- Bleached Renaissance Style Walnut Sgabello Chair from Italy, Circa 1870Located in Dallas, TXA sgabello is an Italian chair that originated in the Renaissance. Originally designed to be displayed in a hallway (like a French side chair), sgabello were typically highly carved with some sort of familial crest or coat of arms incorporated into the décor. They were purely decorative, as the backrests were elaborately carved with protuberances and bulging motifs; comfort was not a primary concern. Hand-carved from walnut in Italy, circa 1870, our Renaissance style sgabello has recently been bleached, allowing the carvings to gain further prominence. The shaped seat has quarter round molding adorned with a series of niches that have been filled with trefoil leaves. Additional foliage has been shallowly incised to the top of the seat, with sprawling rinceaux surrounding a potted plant. The uniquely shaped seatback has several canted edges, topped with various Renaissance motifs. A pair of fragmented...Category
