EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Armchair with a box-shaped base, adorned with intricate letter panels and majestic shield-bearing lions. Created by the Netherlandish School in the 16th century, this wooden masterpiece measures 143x73x56.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Crafted from oak, this armchair features a closed box-shaped base that cleverly doubles as a storage compartment. The back posts are beautifully embellished with lion heads bearing shields, adding an air of regality to its design. The trapezoidal seat boasts a flap mounted with two hinges and can be securely locked using a key through its front plate's keyhole. Originally sourced from the former sacristy of the Dutch Reformed Church in Naaldwijk, this remarkable piece exemplifies the artistry prevalent during the Middle Ages and Gothic period in Holland. Its elaborate carvings and panelled details showcase exceptional craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this chair's magnificence through their lens. This print not only celebrates its historical significance but also highlights its timeless beauty for all to appreciate. A true testament to Dutch artistry and furniture-making traditions, this armchair serves as both functional seating and an awe-inspiring work of art.
