Sienese Cherrywood Armchair – Late 18th Century, Directory Period
Armchair from the Siena area, crafted in solid cherrywood at the end of the 18th century, during the Directory period.
An object of elegant simplicity, created for a cultivated domestic interior, where it would complete the intimate space of a writing desk or small secrétaire — surrounded by papers, books, and quill pens.
The semicircular line of the backrest, flowing seamlessly into the armrests and balanced with natural proportion, reflects the measured sobriety of late-18th-century Tuscan craftsmanship — furniture made to serve, built with intelligence and skill, free from decorative excess.
Perfectly original and finely restored, it retains the warm patina of cherrywood and that discreet presence belonging only to sincere pieces: those made for use, not for show.
