About the Item

Patinated Wood and Cognac Leather "Spanish Chair," Spain, 1960s At first glance, this chair presents a bold and rugged aesthetic; however, upon closer examination, one can appreciate the meticulousness of its design. The lines are expertly sculpted, and the joinery is precise and tight. The term "Spanish chair" refers to a masterful reinterpretation of a traditional design commonly found in regions influenced by ancient Mediterranean culture, from Andalusia to northern India. The designer has modernized the conventional silhouette by eliminating intricate carvings while preserving essential characteristics, such as broad seats and backrests that provide visual character and substantial support for the human body. Combining wood and saddle leather contributes to a robust, rustic appearance. The warm, tanned leather, featuring prominent stitching and joinery, enhances the overall visual appeal. Significant design elements include the metal screw caps that secure the leather to the frame. The original saddle leather is used for both the seat and back, demonstrating its durability and timeless quality. The cognac hue beautifully complements the wood, and alongside the screw caps, these features greatly enhance the rustic aesthetic. Moreover, the chairs exhibit unique attributable traits, notably the wooden stretchers that envelop the legs, designed with a broad and distinctive shape at the front. Evidently, the craftsman responsible for these chairs possessed exceptional skills in cabinetmaking and employed high-quality materials, which have grown more appealing with time. This is illustrated by the enchanting patina of both the leather and wood. The chair remains in good vintage condition, exhibiting wear consistent with age and use. They present minor marks, scratches, and discoloration, while a beautiful patina characterizes the leather.
