Antique curule chair "Satyr"
Neo-Renaissance antique curule armchair with carvings of satyrs. Europe, early 20th century
Satyr is a deity or demigod in ancient Roman mythology, who is depicted as a creature with a human torso and goat legs. Satyrs are companions of Bacchus (Bacchus), who play the pipe and annoy the forest nymphs. Grotesque images are not uncommon for the neo-Renaissance style as an appeal for enrichment and the search for inspiration in antiquity.
The curule chair, sella curulis, is a type of chair used in ancient Rome by dignitaries, the highest government dignitaries. Usually this chair looked like a folding chair with curved legs. It was carved in that era from ivory, with and without armrests, it got its name from the word "chariot" (currus), in which a magistrate was brought to the court. Subsequently, such a seat became the insignia of the highest curule magistrates and ranks, including consuls, praetor, equestrian and emperor.
