This armchair derives from works by Andrea Brustolon, the leading Venetian furniture designer of the late 17th Century. The blackamoors of the arm supports are reminiscent of those featured on an armchair now in Ca Rezzonico, Venice (S. Colombo, L'Arte del Legno e del Mobile in Italia, Turin, 1981, pl. 347), while the sleeping cherubs, carved at the junction of the arms and of the back, are identical to those on another armchair in the same collection (A. Gonzales-Palacios, Il Tempio del Gusto, Milan, 1986, vol. II, p. 344-5, n. 733).
