Set of Four Painted and Parcel Gilt Portuguese Armchairs
About the Item
This unique and rare set of four Portuguese painted arm chairs in original finish with parcel gilt accents features two subtly different coats of arms. While all four chairs display a ducal coat of arms with a crown over the green framed shield, one pair has a rampant lion and the other pair has a tower. They could be two versions of the same house, or perhaps they represent the merging of two houses. Research of arms symbolism suggests that the latter may be the case, as the lion is indicative of courage and valor, the tower means safety (and grandeur) and the green border signifies hope, joy and loyalty in love.
Whatever the case, the carving and patina of these chairs are beautiful and they would be at home in any estate.
