Carl Bugatti entwarf diesen Thronstuhl um 1905 in Mailand. Er bestand darauf, dass seine Formen sich nicht an den Möbelentwürfen anderer Künstler orientieren. Diese Meinung vertrat er auch gegenüber Königin Elena von Italien während der „Internationalen Ausstellung für dekorative moderne Kunst“ in Turin 1902. Besch. (1470346) (13)
