This 19th Century Folding Bishop Chair was hand-crafted by Luigi Frullini, one of the notable carvers of his time in Florence during the latter half of the 19th century. Specializing in the Renaissance Revival style, he contributed significantly to the rich tradition of craftsmanship in the region.
Frullini’s use of walnut, intricate carving, attention to detail, and dedication to reviving the aesthetics of the Renaissance period reflect his craftsmanship, given his expertise and the time period. Chairs of this style and material were often commissioned for prominent individuals, including royalty. His pieces were sought after for their quality and craftsmanship, making them prized possessions for those who could afford them.
