\n","additional_info":[{"title":"Additional Information","text":"Known as Mombasa chairs, these objects are to be found in areas of Portuguese presence along the Eastern Coast of Africa, often the trading ports in the Goa to Lisbon sea route.
\nTheir straight lines draw inspiration from 16th century Spanish and Indo-Portuguese prototypes, while their exotic decoration mirrors a fusion of Indo-European and African styles.
\nRelated to court ceremonial, this particular chair typology was associated to representations of power, both in the kingdom mainland and in its overseas territories, becoming favoured diplomatic gifts from the earliest days of Portuguese expansion.
\nOften referred as Indo-Afro-Portuguese, they were exclusively produced in Northern India, as it is suggested by comparative studies with other contemporary furniture typologies that adopt identical raw materials and decoration. The evidenced foot rest reveals their importance as symbolic of royal status.
