Hand of Glory has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
A sgabello is a type of stool typical of the Italian Renaissance and often associated with Venice. They were usually placed in halls, often featuring the family’s coat of arms alongside elaborately carved mythical beasts and grotesques and as such were not designed for comfort but rather to impress important guests. Often later chairs are copies of original 16th century designs.
