This wooden chair was made in the late 1800s and was used for spinning yarn; hence the name "Spinning Chair". Made with strong oak wood; elegant, rich hand-carvings cover the chair head to toe. As the tail would tell us, these chairs were made in the Black Forest of Germany--the Father of the Wind is depicted as the back. He is taking a deep breath in of fresh air and new possibilities, as each season passes he is there to support the changing of the wind. Each season calls for different winds and temperatures, which meant new clothes, and Father Wind was there to support those spinning the yarn for the new seasons. Father Wind is depicted as a Grotesque to to ward off evil and as a reminder of the separation of the earth and the divine; which are often confused for gargoyles, but are two different things. These chairs welcomed each season with optimistic flow, and banished anything that was not apart of that flow.
Price is for the pair of chairs together; not separately.
Dimensions: 38.75"H x 16.5"W x 18.5"D
