Seating

Chairs became a common furnishing within the domains of wealthy Europeans by the mid 16th century. Influenced by the prosperous, seating design became a result of then current fashions. Chair frame construction diverged from weighty angular designs; were fitted with a backrest and crafted with petite flowing lines. Cabinetmakers of the era utilized superior materials and advanced joinery techniques to craft some of the finest seating ever created.
