Early XVIII Century

Pair of baroque chairs with shaped backs and padded seats upholstered in leather, Umbria, early 18th century. Walnut structure, crosspieces and spool front legs. A coat of arms is painted in the center of the backrests, which seems to correspond to the coat of arms of the Fedeli family of Spoleto, portraying a dressed faith (in heraldry the faith indicates two hands shaking) with a six-pointed gold star at the top. The leather covering of one seat was replaced in the 19th century.
