Antique & Stunning Wrought Iron & Bronze Gothic Castle Chair w. Scarlet Red Seat

About the Item

Unique, top quality made and highly decorative antique Gothic chair. If you are looking for rare, stylish and top-quality made antiques to decorate your home, castle or church then this amazing workmanship chair from the 1800s could be perfect for you. We have never seen or sold a chair like this before and after searching the worldwide web and some of the books we have, we still don't know where these chairs were made and used. Mind you, this amazing antique was all hand forged using wrought iron for most of the base, but the armrests including the four stylized Gothic quatrefoil symbols on either side are entirely made of solid bronze. As are the large 'brackets' that clamp the upper and lower part of this chair together. This unique and heavy chair stands as strong and stable as it did when it left the artisan's studio about 170 years ago. Based on the design with the quatrefoil symbols, the 'papalesk' scarlet red fabric and the ecclesiastical looking bronze ornaments on top of every corner of this chair one would think that it must have been made for a church. Maybe it was a ceremonial chair or maybe it was commissioned by the owner of a Gothic castle. We have not been able to find that out. And we have not even mentioned the hand-knotted, chain mail-like fabric with the golden threads in them. Maybe we should be asking much more for this chair, because a blacksmith and a metal worker and an upholsterer in this day and age could never make an exact copy for the price we are asking. Have you also noticed the decorations that were hand hammered into the wrought iron base and the bronze claw feet? They too make this chair the desirable and enigmatic antique that will never fail to impress. Anyone visiting will notice and will want to stop and study this remarkable work of art. If you already have a place and space in mind for it then maybe you should be its next custodian. If you can afford this type of quality and beauty, then why settle for less? Our regular clients already know this, but we like to keep your shopping experience on 1stdibs as easy as possible so perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 35.4 x 26 x 20 inches. Width x depth of the red seat itself: 20.5 x 15.75 inches. Seat height: 18.5 inches. Weight: 24 kilogram or 52.9 pounds lbs. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Located in Lisse, NL

Stunning, top quality made antique pendant in the Gothic style. If you are a collector of rare and ancient looking Gothic antiques then this large size and possibly one of a kind pendant could be flying your way soon. With antique light fixtures as one of our specialities, we know how rare Gothic lanterns are and to have found one of this age, size, beauty and quality more than made our day. Also, because this all hand-crafted specimen is, except for the glass, completely original and in superb condition.

Iron and Woven Rush Pilot or Passenger Seat from a circa 1920s Aircraft

Located in Chicago, IL

This pilot's or passenger's seat from a circa 1920s airplane is an excellent example of early 20th century industrial design. The frame is made from rod iron, and the seat and back are woven rush. The rear of the seat back has a cleverly integrated map pocket of the same woven material. The legs bend at the bottom to form feet, which have holes to allow them to be secured to the floor of the aircraft. The design is an elegant and functional solution to the specific needs of light weight plus strength. We purchased this piece from the estate of a collector of aviation related items. It was only identified as an airplane chair...
