Wooden Chest Armchair

Pretty armchair with salt box, all in solid wood, fully doweled. The backrest is carved with a diamond. The solid wood armrests are doweled. The seat hides a chest
under 2 removable boards.

In the past, this type of armchair called “the grandfather’s throne” was placed inside the fireplace itself in order to dry the salt hidden in the chest. This place was reserved for the patriarch of the home.
