Description
A rare set of four 16th century Spanish walnut embroidered armchairs, the original coverings, the seats with worn velvets, the back panels beautifully embroidered with the Lamb of God symbol, a visual motif the lamb has been most often represented since the middle ages as a standing haloed lamb with a foreleg cocked “holding” a pennant with a red cross on a white ground.
