Armchair (part of a set)

Italian, Venice

Not on view

These chairs are from a large set comprising at least two settees and twelve armchairs (one settee and three armchairs are in the Metropolitan Museum). The conceit of birds upholding the swags on the back contributes to the light and playful qualities of the design.
