About the Item

Friar armchair. Leather, walnut wood. Spain, 16th century. Armchair with arms and high back of the type known as “frailero”, which has studded leather on the seat and upper part of the back, low cut-out low profile chambrances joining the front legs with the rear legs and middle chambrances or stringers (carved and recut the front one creating geometric motifs) joining the two front legs and the two rear ones, and simple armrests, with volute finishes. The friar armchair, initially of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of this and the 17th century and being recovered again in the historicist current of the 19th century.
