Two Italian Renaissance plank chairs,
Florence early 16th century, so-called sgabelli, brown-stained walnut frames, each with 3 legs in fluted execution, shield-form backs with round section featuring ornamentally carved floral motifs, old wormholes, signs of age and use.
The style of the pair of armchairs is mainly based on the decorative chair, also known as the “Strozzi stool”, originally preserved in the Figdor Collection; it is called Strozzi because of the carved Strozzi coat of arms located in the round upper section.
Dr. Albert Figdor purchased this chair from Prince Strozzi directly from his palace in Florence. F. Schottmüller believed that the front is an enlarged replica of the reverse of the medal of Niccolo Fiorentino to Filippo di Matteo Strozzi (1428 - 1492), who since 1489 had the famous family palace built by Giuliano da Maiano. Thus, the chair could come from the workshop of Giuliano da Maiano.
