Not a project for a carpenter to finish in a few weeks time, but rather the fine woodwork of a joiner.<br />For the klaarbank a few centuries earlier, the sella curulis would be ideal for the Duke.Marijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839707199186597043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996432166551690323.post-52591920603701190952016-01-10T21:43:02.537+01:002016-01-10T21:43:02.537+01:00A very interesting and fun project, I am sure you ...A very interesting and fun project, I am sure you will enjoy working on this. Thank you for sharing your detective work, and history lesson, It is interesting to get little snippets of evidence that in all corners of the world things were going on that were of importance to those who lived in in that region. I would guess that the Dukes chair would be a finished piece of fine furniture brought to the court and not something knocked together by the carpenters, as would have been the case with the other seating. Also, note from the paneling in the French example, that this is not crudely fabricated planks, although it too, would have been constructed by carpenters.Johann von Katzenelnbogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774736348480165809noreply@blogger.com
