EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare Renaissance folding chair, known as the Curule Chair, dating back to the years 1450-1500. Created by an unknown artisan, this exquisite piece of furniture was designed with practicality in mind. Its lightweight and foldable structure allowed for easy transportation from room to room or even between houses. While these chairs were commonly found in Italian homes during that era, they also gained popularity among scholars and clerics who sought comfort while studying or working. The portability of the Curule Chair made it particularly useful for those embarking on extended travels. Although the fabric seen in this photograph is a modern replacement, it still beautifully complements the chair's forged iron frame and wooden elements. This remarkable artifact represents both heritage art and fine craftsmanship from 15th-century Italy. The image is part of Heritage Art's collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art. It serves as a testament to their dedication towards preserving historical treasures like this exceptional Curule Chair. Let yourself be transported back in time through this visual masterpiece captured by Heritage Images' lens - a true celebration of artistry and history intertwined.
