Miniature friar's chair. Wood, leather, metal. Spanish school, 19th century. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as a friar's chair, which has chambranes on the legs joining the back with the front and middle chambranes or crossbars at the front with carved plant and architectural elements. The legs have a plant carving that extends along the arms, in the scrolls of the fronts. The back and seat have a leather upholstery (the back is embossed with plant elements), metal studs and textile fringe. 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 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.
