EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an exquisite armchair from the 17th century. Crafted with precision and skill, this oak armchair is a true testament to the Welsh school of furniture making. Measuring at an impressive 142.8x67x56.6 cm, it can be found in the prestigious Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The chair's design features intricate details that immediately catch the eye. The large sunburst-carved lunette cresting with scrolled edging adds a touch of grandeur to its appearance. Two horizontal panels and rails are adorned with lunettes, rosettes, and arches, showcasing the craftsmanship involved in its creation. What truly sets this armchair apart are the secondary structures formed as naive figures atop each scrolled armrest. These whimsical additions add character and charm to an already remarkable piece of furniture. The chair's sturdy construction is evident through its baluster-turned supports for the arms and turned front legs united by plain stretchers. The legs extend gracefully into feet, completing its elegant silhouette. With elements reminiscent of both Jacobean and Baroque styles, this wooden masterpiece stands as a testament to timeless beauty and artistry in woodcarving. Thanks to Sir William and Lady Burrell's generous gift to Glasgow in 1944, we can now admire this extraordinary piece up close at the Burrell Collection—a treasure that captures both history and artistic brilliance within its frame.
