Pair of friar's chairs. Walnut wood, leather, metal. Spain, 17th century. Armchairs with high arms and backrests of the type known as “frailero”, which have leather with studs on the seat and upper part of the backrest, low chambranes 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, 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 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.
