Large armchair with square-section uprights and front legs, in walnut, decorated "a certosina". Italy, circa 1830.
The backrest has two wide bands, carved with volutes, a motif repeated in the band under the seat. The armrests rest on two baluster columns.
The uprights end with two men's heads included in two volutes
All the parts visible from the front, including the inside of the rear legs are decorated "a certosina", a kind of mosaic created from pieces of wood, mother-of-pearl, bone or ivory.
This technique, widely used during the Italian Renaissance, takes its name from the convent of Certosa, near Pavia, where it was first used to decorate an altarpiece.
