Stoel van palissanderhout c. 1850

This palisander wood chair, crafted by the Horrix brothers around 1850, exemplifies the Gothic Revival style prevalent in mid-19th-century furniture design. The chair's intricate carvings, particularly on the backrest and legs, evoke the pointed arches and decorative motifs of medieval architecture. The tapestry upholstery depicting a woman in a landscape further enhances the chair's romantic and nostalgic character, reflecting the era's fascination with the past. The chair's rich brown hue and overall sturdy construction give it a timeless quality, making it a striking piece of furniture.
