FAQs

An X-frame or Savonarola chair is a style of seating featuring a crossed frame, originating from classical Roman curule seats and refined during the Italian Renaissance.

These chairs were typically constructed from dense hardwoods like oak or walnut, held together with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery and finished with hand-carved embellishments.

Look for historical construction techniques, subtle irregularities in hand-tooled carvings, authentic surface patination, and age-appropriate wear on high-touch areas like armrests.

Place the chair as a standalone architectural accent in an entrance hall, reading corner, or study to contrast historic craftsmanship against minimalist backdrops.

Dust the detailed carving with a soft, dry brush and apply beeswax polish periodically to nourish the timber and protect the original surface finish.
