Carlo Bugatti Throne Chairs
Two Throne Chairs by Carlo Bugatti fetched US $ 13,475.00 at LAMA on December 6, 2009.
A Royal Throne by the Horrix Brothers – Meubelenfabriek Anna Palowna
Two brothers, Matthieu (1815-1889) and Willem Horrix (1816-1881) started to build their furniture manufacturing company, Meubelenfabriek Anna Palowna, in The Hague, The Netherlands, in 1850. The company was closed in 1890 after Matthieu died. Matthieu was the designer of the two. They had their training in the family business and in Paris. One of their famous chairs, a royal throne used at the coronation of William III as King of The Netherlands belongs to the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
I found this Horrix sofa photo somewhere on the Internet. Ah I now see the photo is probably from the The Hague Notary Public Auction House (Venduhuis der Notarissen) where two of these canapes were sold for Euro 800.- and Euro 900.- respectively in May 2007.
Two Horrix chairs can be found in the Delft Technical University Chair Collection (Architecture School TU Delft) .
The Edward VII Love Chair
tywkiwdbi means “Things You Wouldn’t Know If We Didn’t Blog Incessantly….Excellent title! Here I found the first hint of this Edward VII Love Chair.
According to Filthy Gorgeous Things this Siège d’Amour was commissioned for when Edward VII visited his favorite Parish establishment in the 1890ies. You can read more about it in the UK’s The First Post [Ed: Post disappeared]. It appears the original is still in use in Paris, but the photo shows a replica in a museum in Prague…Definitely an item for Chair Whore!
The King's Mom is His Throne
“The King’s Mom is His Throne” is a sculpture by Dutch Sculptor Ingrid Rollema.
It was placed in the “Kloosterkerk” in The Hague where I took this photo on occasion of the official opening of The 2009 The Hague Sculpture exposition.
The sculptor explains that without his mom (His Throne) a king is a very ordinary person… even maybe a nobody.
The Hague Sculpture is a one person exposition of Mexican Sculpor Javier Marin …. who himself doesn’t have a passion for chairs (yet?)
