Monk's armchair. Walnut wood, textile, metal. Spain, 16th century. It has defects. Armchair with arms and high backrest, of the type known as “frailero”, which has a textile upholstery with studs on the seat and backrest, low, cut-out low-profile chambranes joining the front and back legs and middle chambranes or side rails (the front with carved geometric motifs) joining the two front and two back legs, and simple armrests (curved, ending in scrolls; the front with fluting). The friar's chair, initially of Italian origin, became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture since its introduction in the 16th century, being characteristic of both the 17th and 18th centuries and being recovered again in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Being such a deep-rooted tradition in Spain, this type of model was never stopped being created.
