About this work
The workshop of the Amsterdam interior decorator and fine art dealer Van Wisselingh & Co had a special department for producing batik, a resist-dyeing technique originally from Java. This technique was used for the ornamentation of the parchment seat and back of this chair. It was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Dentz van Schaick, whose monogram DvS graces its back.
