EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Armchair dating back to the year 1540. Crafted from solid oak, this remarkable piece of furniture measures 97.8x53.1x38.4 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The armchair features a joined small frame with a channel-moulded top rail that sits above a rectangular back adorned with two intricately carved panels. These panels display dissimilar Renaissance-style flower and vase motifs, adding an element of elegance and artistry to the chair's design. Noteworthy details include slender horizontal armrests and bevelled arm supports that seamlessly extend into plain four-sided front legs. The seat rails are also channel-moulded, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship employed in its creation. Although time has taken its toll on this magnificent chair, resulting in the loss of its feet, it still stands as a testament to the ingenuity of Tudor-era woodcarving. Its historical significance cannot be understated, representing both Northern Renaissance influences and England's rich cultural heritage during the Tudor period (1485-1603). Gifted by Sir William and Lady Burrell to the City of Glasgow in 1944, this stunning piece now forms part of the CSG CIC Glasgow Museums Collection. This photograph captures every intricate detail of this wooden masterpiece for all admirers of fine art and history to appreciate for generations to come.
