X-chair
An X-chair (also scissors chair, Dante chair, or Savonarola chair) is a chair with X-shaped frame. It was known in Ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece.
== History ==
A type of folding chair with a frame like an ''X'' viewed from the front or the side originated in medieval Italy. Also known as a Savonarola or ''Dante chair'' in Italy, or a ''Luther chair'' in Germany, the X-chair was a light and practical form that spread through Renaissance Europe. In England, the Glastonbury chair made an X-shape by crossing the front and back legs, while in Spain X-chairs were inlaid with ivory and metals in the Moorish designs.
The use of the name Savonarola chair comes from a nineteenth-century trade term evoking Girolamo Savonarola, is a folding armchair of the type standardized during the Italian Renaissance.
The chair in the illustration consists of a wooden flat-arched back rail carved with a coat-of-arms in low relief, and connected to the back of the straight arms of the chair and a seat made of narrowly fitted wooden slats. The wood used in construction of the chair is the typical walnut, as in other gothic and renaissance furniture.
