Miniature friar's chair. Wood, leather, metal. Spanish school, 19th century. A high-backed armchair of the type known as a "frailero" (a type of Spanish chair), featuring stretchers on the legs connecting the front and rear, and a central stretcher or beam at the front with carved vegetal and architectural motifs. The legs display vegetal carving that extends onto the arms, forming volutes on the front. The backrest and seat are upholstered in leather (the backrest embossed with vegetal motifs), and adorned with metal studs and fabric fringe. Originally of Italian origin, the "frailero" became one of the most common pieces of Spanish furniture after its introduction in the 16th century, remaining characteristic of that century and the 17th, and experiencing a revival in the historicist movement of the 19th century. Because it was such a deeply rooted tradition in Spain, this type of chair continued to be produced throughout the centuries.
