Stunning Late 19th Century Neo Renaissance Style lion head Savonarola Throne chair with a mahogany frame, carved details, & loose seat cushion with original velvety wine colored fabric. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, under the lion on the left (if you are facing the chair) a piece of wood was missing so it was filled & repaired by our artisan staff. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 19th Century.

BREATHTAKING!! It has a loose seat cushion wearing its original wine colored velvety fabric; but, you may have noticed we photographed it with a couple of different seat pillows. We just wanted to show you how easy it is to swap out and how different pillows or fabrics can drastically change the look of the chair. It will come with the wine colored seat cushion unless you prefer one of the others in the photographs. You can simply request that upon purchase.
