FAQs

A sgabello is a type of lightweight, portable wooden chair that originated during the Italian Renaissance, characterized by a high back and trestle supports instead of traditional legs.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or oak, featuring pegged joinery and board construction rather than complex upholstery.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, period-appropriate tool marks, timber shrinkage, and natural oxidisation consistent with age.

This type of seating functions well as an architectural accent piece in an entryway, hallway, or as a static display element against a plain wall.

Maintain timber condition by keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying periodic applications of traditional beeswax, and avoiding silicone-based polishes.
