EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folding X-chair, dating from the Northern Netherlands between 1620 and 1650, is a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship excellence of the 17th century. Housed in the esteemed Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland, this masterpiece showcases the intricate carvings and decorative motifs that defined the Baroque era. The chair, made primarily of walnut wood, boasts an intricate design featuring a bishop or emperor seated between a lion and a dolphin, symbolizing honor and power. The armrests are adorned with a nymph and a deity, possibly Triton or a sea nymph, reflecting the nautical theme prevalent in the Netherlands during this period. The backrest is further embellished with a motif of a fishnet, adding to the chair's overall maritime charm. The chair's unique X-shape design allows it to be easily folded, making it a practical and portable piece of furniture. The upholstery, made of fine leather, adds to the chair's elegance and comfort. The intricate hinge mechanism, which holds the chair together when folded, is a marvel of engineering from the era. This folding X-chair is a prime example of the rich artistic heritage of the Dutch Republic during the Modern Age. Its intricate carvings, symbolism, and foldable design make it a coveted piece of furniture that continues to captivate viewers and scholars alike.
