Brief Historical Note

Giltwood throne chairs in the Baroque style were traditionally used from the 17th century onward in the grand salons, state rooms, and reception halls of Europe. Designed to symbolise status, authority, and ceremony, they were often richly carved and gilded, serving as both practical seating and powerful decorative icons.

By the 19th century, there was a renewed fascination with earlier decorative arts, prompting skilled craftsmen to create revived Baroque pieces such as this pair - capturing the drama and splendour of the period with updated upholstery suitable for modern use.
