Monk's armchair. Carved wood, textile. Spain, 20th century. Also called an “armchair”, this type of seat was very common in Spain despite its Italian origin. The typology was introduced in the 16th century, and remained a common feature of Spanish furniture during the following centuries, becoming really popular in the 19th and 20th centuries when pieces influenced by past styles became fashionable. It has a backrest and seat upholstered in red fabric, with studs, and carved decorations on the arms, backrest, waist and jambs. It is reminiscent of outstanding examples such as several from the 19th century preserved in the Lázaro Galdiano Museum in Madrid, etc. Several units available.
