Monk's armchair. Wood, leather. Spain, 16th and 18th centuries. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “friar’s chair”, which has leather with studs on the seat and upper part of the backrest, low, cut-out low-profile chambranes joining the front and back legs and middle chambranes or side rails (the front one carved with a relief of architectural motifs) joining the two front and two back legs, and simple armrests. In this case, it should be noted that the chambrane, due to the relief, would be from the 18th century. 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 this and the 17th century 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.
