Antique side chair in neoclassical style

This chair is considered to be a stylistic work by the Italian designer Michelangelo Pergolesi (Michelangelo Pergolesi)(active 1760-1801), made about 1785. Pergolesi is known for bringing Italian fantasy elements to British design. It is exquisitely carved and decorated in painted and gold. The back of the chair consists of crossed cornucopia horns (cornucopia), from which a monster head (possibly a griffin or dolphin head) is born, and an umbrella-like canopy structure is attached. The seat was covered with green upholstery.
