Side Chair in Bentwood with Rosewood Veneer by Barovero Turin, Italy 1960s

A beautiful side chair produced by Barovero Turino in the 1960s. The seating area has a wooden structure and is in fact a processed bent plywood shell. The different thicknesses of the wooden structure and the curvature of the shell indicate a true mastery in the execution of this Italian manufacture. The exclusive rosewood veneer with its beautiful flames gives the chair an extra elegant look. The shell almost seems to detach from the frame and floats on top. The so-called turned legs again reveal the craftsmanship and the use of an old woodworking technique from times gone by. Class and sophistication are what this object screams. The two cushions on the seat and back have been reupholstered. In addition, the leather straps with their beautiful lived appearance have been left intact. This is a truly eye-catching chair with an amazing patina and has suffered nothing except for a few scratches.
