Reference: Z0673
Monk's armchair. Leather, walnut wood. Spain, 16th century. 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 frames joining the front and back legs and middle frames or side rails (the front one carved and re-cut to create geometric motifs) joining the two front and two back legs, and simple armrests with scrollwork finishes. The friar's chair, originally 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.
