Stoel van Willem Bilderdijk 1750

This 18th-century armchair, likely crafted by an unknown artist, is a fine example of Rococo design. The chair features a high, curved back, a padded seat, and elegant, ornately carved legs. The fabric is green and shows signs of wear, lending a sense of history and use. The chair, known as “Stoel van Willem Bilderdijk,” was once owned by the Dutch poet and historian Willem Bilderdijk. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcasing the aesthetic sensibilities of the Rococo era.
