Sardinian Art Nouveau chair
The artefact
The bunch of grapes, executed following the relief technique, enhances and characterises the high-backed chair, the bottom of which is made of intertwined marsh grass. Handmade with its edges decorated with traditional fingernail scratches, a typical feature of Sardinian traditional carving, the chair was designed as a precious piece of furniture that will last over time.
