History of antique chairs
The antique chair is by far the oldest and most functional piece of furniture ever created.
At the beginning of time, the chair was only used by nobles or church leaders, while the rest of the people had to settle for sitting on the floor.
The first time you hear about antique chairs , in reality, you are faced with the first example of a bench, built with a wooden plank arranged on two pillars and was more functional than a single chair because it could accommodate more people.
One of the very first single seats appears around 1100 and is called faldistorio , a folding and mobile chair , without a backrest, but equipped with padding.
In the modern period , antique chairs burst into all homes, thanks to mass production and its effective functionality.
We witness the production of a large quantity of antique armchairs , with the most diverse shapes, colors and materials.
