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. Lions have been associated with royalty and valor for centuries… A symbol of strength and courage… King of the jungle and held in awe by humankind. This chair represents ALL of that!! What an incredible aura to bring into your home! This is a FIERCE and quite FABULOUS Savonarola throne chair comprised of a marvelous mahogany frame featuring fantastic carved lion head back finials, beautifully carved details on the top rail, a smooth mahogany back splat bearing GORGEOUS wood grain surrounded by carved acanthus leaves and floral details, and the quintessential X style base with side stretchers and lovely scroll feet. 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. Quick fact… Did you know… The title Savonarola comes from the name of Italian Renaissance Dominican friar, Girolamo Savonarola, who is renowned for his clash with tyrannical rulers and corrupt clergy. Well…No tyranny here, just an incredible chair with an interesting history!! It’s BURSTING with an unmistakable Neo Renaissance Style and it is going to make quite the statement in your living or family room across from your sofa, in a corner of your bedroom, facing the fireplace in your study, or in your sitting room next to a marvelous accent table. This is it. The chair you need to make you feel like the king… or queen of your own jungle. What are you waiting for “Your Majesty...
