Vintage Emmanuelle Peacock Chair Italy 1970s

Like a male peacock, this throne-esque chair wants to be seen. It’s done just that for over a century. It has originated in the Philippines, which is why it is often referred to as the Philippine Chair. One report traces the chair to the Bilibid Prison in Manila, where the incarcerated population was tasked with weaving home furnishings from weeds or rattan. The chair’s ornate, Edwardian stylings and colonial origins. In 1974, the chair featured prominently in the popular French pornographic film, Emmanuelle; the film’s star Sylvia Kristel posed topless on a Peacock Chair for the film’s poster. It was also the favourite chair of Morticia Addams and it has also been featured in the 2018 film "Bohemian Rhapsody", by being part of Mary Austin’s bedroom. An important and handy chair because of its lightweight and resistant organic material. In great conditions as it was used as a decorative bedroom chair. A vintage eye-catching functional seating for your special environment
