Monk's armchair. Leather, wood. Spain, 16th century. It has flaws and requires restoration. Armchair with arms and high backrest of the type known as “frailero”, which has leather with studs on the upper part of the backrest and on the seat, low chambranes with a cut-out profile joining the front legs with the back ones and middle chambranes or side rails (the front one carved and cut out creating geometric motifs) joining the two front legs and the two back ones, and simple armrests. 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 never stopped being created.
