The six armchairs, belonging to the residence of the illustrious Durini family, were donated to the collections in 1939. On the seat and back a tapestry fabric produced in Beauvais narrates the fables of La Fontaine through images. The famous French narrator wrote short fairy tales inspired by Aesop in the seventeenth century, in which animals symbolize man's vices and virtues. Produced in a Lombard workshop, the armchairs show rocaille carvings and large shapes, suitable for welcoming eighteenth-century ladies, dressed in precious and bulky fashionable clothes.
