A ''sgabello'' is an Italian term for a specific type of backstool, moveable seat furniture typical of the Italian Renaissance, when a chair (''sedia'') usually signified an armchair, a seat of some hieratic importance. ''Sgabelli'' are generally made out of walnut and consist of a thin plank or panelled back and an octagonal seat, supported on shaped plank supports, strengthened by a stretcher, which may be turned. This seat would often be placed in hallways, and was often carved with a family's ''imprese'' or emblem drawn from its coat-of-arms. Its primary purpose was not lounging comfort. Similar chairs were made in France. It is also known as the side chair. It has solid supports, which are called rhombus seat supports. It wasn't used for a stool. A ''sgabello is an Italian Renaissance furniture object found in the sixteenth century. It is a side chair, made of walnut, with a variety of carvings and turned elements.
