Symbol of the living room chair

For many centuries, the living room chair has been considered one of the most important furniture and a symbol of social status. In ancient civilizations, living room chairs were not only for people to sit on, but also used in various formal occasions and ceremonies. Among the furniture of ancient Egypt, the living room chair is listed as one of the most important furniture. The development of the living room chair began around 2000-1500 BC. At the beginning, the living room chair was a special seat for military commanders on the battlefield. It was also a symbol of power and prestige. Although time goes by, the living room chair always carries a symbol of power.

The Egyptian living room chair, along with the subsequent Greek and Etruscan living room chairs (an ancient country in central and western Italy), became the prototype of the Roman living room chair. In the Roman Republic period, the Sellacurulis chair began to be widely used in civilian courts. From the "Sellacurulis" chair in Rome, to the "Sellaplicatilis" of the Lombards, to the "Faldistorium" of the Carolingian dynasty, we can find a change in form.
