A 19th century painted library chair from northern Italy, with a spindle and turned back and legs. The plank seat opens out into a small step ladder. The worn paint gives this chair personality. It's like a piece of artwork decoratively, but is sturdy and suitable for an occasional sit. * Hand Sourced on our buying trip to Italy.
