After a design of Agostino Gerli, a set of Lombard chairs dated 1770.

These parcel-gilt fauteuils "a chassis" (meaning the cushion seat was loose and thereby easy to replace) feature a rectangular padded back within a husk carved frame a seat-rail carved with ribbon-tied berried laurel leaves, armrest ending in sphinxes and supported by legs topped with an ebonized bust of a sphinx.

Conceived at the height of neoclassical style, with a characteristic style, Northern Italian productions distanced themselves from French taste when it comes to the most exquisite productions, mixing sober straight lines with sculptural carvings in volumetric contrast, achieving a very characteristic taste both in originality and aesthetic.

- Upholstery options in cream an navy

COPY . MOD rights.

The seats are equipped with a total of 17 Bento animations divided into a menu for women, and another for men, with props such as tea cups or books.
