Armchair, anonymous, 1675 - 1700
The rich carvings and colourful fabric of this chair made it one of the most important pieces of seat furniture in a late 17th-century interior. It was therefore placed in the best room of the house, as can be seen in the doll’s house opposite this display case. Such chairs came with a cover to protect the precious upholstery on the back and seat from sunlight and wear.
