Chaise au perroquet en noyer sculpté, travail hollandais de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle

les montants articulés sculptés de dauphins sommés de lions héraldiques, le dossier ajouré surmonté du Jugement de Salomon ; l'assise souple et garnie de velours cramoisi (usures)

Illustration is a little too bright. Stable structure with inevitable small dents and cracks in places. As visible on the photograph, one finial is missing and upholstery is extensively worn and torn. Interesting historiated chair in good overall condition.
