19th Century Aesthetic Movement X-Frame Chair w. Hand Carved Monkey Finials

About the Item

Marvellous, early Arts & Crafts chair with human-like, monkey sculptures. I once learned that one of the goals of art is that it should trigger your imagination. Also, in the sense that it should make you ask yourself the question, what am I looking at and what does it mean (to me)? When I first saw this chair I immediately knew I was looking at a unique work of art and the artistic, human-like monkey sculptures lift it to a whole different level. Realizing that this chair is most likely created in the era of the British Aesthetic Movement around 1880, it came to me how the artist who created this piece could very well have been inspired by a book he may have read, 'on the origin of species' by Charles Darwin. My imagination led me to believe that reading about 'evolutionary biology' could very well have been the seed that was at the root of this marvellous and meaningful work of art. A work of art that lesser creative minds may simply call 'a chair'. Your imagination may tell you something very different and that is why this unique and very well preserved antique also is a great conversation piece. Our price for this 'Darwin chair' includes perfect packing in a custom made crate & also free delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. No matter where you live on our beautiful planet. Maximum height x width x depth: 37 x 25.6 x 25.6 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by.
