For your consideration is this beautiful North Wind Black Forest style carved throne chair circa early 1900s. North Wind styles of furniture were popularized in the 19th and early 20th century often depicting the wind god Aeolus carved into the backrest of a chair. Typically the images would depict him either stoic or blowing wind in a “grotesque” manner. This chair shows a throne style as well with a large wide seat and the arm rests extruding away from each other. It is ornately carved with the Man of the North Wind face carved in the center of the backrest, while other animal like faces are carved onto the left and right side of the backrest as well as in the arm rests. Towards the bottom, the crossed legs are adorned with floral designs similar to the floral designs on the top of the backrest. The chair shows good condition overall with some wear present from its age and use over the years. Some chipping present on wood and leather seat shows cracks and slight tears. No major signs of wear or damage is noted. The chair measures 21 1/4" L x 42 1/4" W x 47" H.
