Long Description: "The armchair is made following the contemporary French furniture from the court of Louis XIV, and represents the only functional piece of furniture in the entire collection in Ptuj castle having wooden parts all gilt, which was quite a rarity for provincial furniture of the time. The wood quality – Swiss pine – suggests that it was made in Tyrol." (Tatjana Štefanič, mag. Boštjan Roškar)
