About the Item

Hinged ear armchair. A unique armchair, both for its functionality and its classic design. Covered in golden velvet, the upholstery conveys a feeling of comfort and beauty. The rounded shapes of the high backrest with ‘ears’, as well as the padded armrests, recall the traditional style of 19th century reading chairs. The highlight of the piece is its articulation system. The structure allows the arms to be opened and the seat to be extended, functioning as a kind of lounge chair or chaise longue. The dark wood base, turned and mounted on castors, reinforces the duality between elegance and mobility, making it ideal for resting or reading spaces. Despite showing signs of wear, this is an unusual and captivating piece of antique articulated furniture, possibly used in resting environments or even in therapeutic or hospital contexts of the time.
