A hallmark of late 20th-century Italian luxury craftsmanship. A true celebration of maximalist design, this "chair-and-a-half" scale piece blends regal proportions with the meticulous textile artistry synonymous with Italian craftsmanship. Upholstered in a luxurious multi-patterned silk-blend damask and striped fabric, the chair features a warm palette of golden ochre, deep terracotta, and muted blues. The attention to detail is fantastic, featuring two large matching bolster pillows with intricate corded trim and oversized silk tassels; elaborate braided rope detailing accents the frame, culminating in four gold metallic pinecone finials—a traditional Italian symbol of hospitality and longevity.

The chair sits on elegant tapered wooden legs adorned with decorative floral brass medallions. Bearing the "Made in Italy" hallmark, this chair is built with a substantial frame and high-quality upholstery. It offers a deep, generous seat perfect for lounging without sacrificing its formal, stately silhouette.

This piece works beautifully as a standalone "throne" in a primary suite or as a pair in a grand formal living room. Pair it with a simple drink table to let the complex patterns and textures of the Italian textiles remain the focal point. See less
