Accurate Description of Item
One Late Victorian Dantesca Chair
Appraiser Remarks
Based on the images this is a late Victorian “Dantesca" chair, a variation of the "Savonarola" chair. The style gets its name from Girolamo Savonarola (September 21, 1452 – May 23, 1498), who was a late 15th Century Catholic Monk often pictured seated in such a chair. While the original chairs were designed to fold, the majority of reproductions of the Dantesca type do not. Values for Victorian styled furniture hit its peak in the 1990's, demand for it has declined substantially in recent years.
