Description
Alder, carved with tapestry. 1980 completely restored.
The legs and armrests of the chair are decorated with elaborate carvings; the sides of the armrests consist of leaf patterns, the front and upper end of the backrest form the head, torso and wings of a griffin. The seat and backrest are upholstered throughout with tapestry coverings (light floral patterns on a dark background). The chair was completely restored in 1980, which is why the upholstery covers may no longer be original.
Provenance
probably confiscated in September 1942 by the tax office Mainz-Stadt (identification number of the tax office: M. St. 88/521) Transferred in September 1943 by the OFP Hessen in Darmstadt to the Painting Gallery and the Museum of Antiquities of the City of Mainz (estimated price at transfer: RM 50)
