Many chairs made during the Baroque period, mostly for the more luxurious palaces, have a ‘plank’ in the backrest sawn into Baroque shapes. Luxuriant curls and curves. As is often the case, I was actually looking for something different, but while leafing through the book “Möbelstile,” my eye fell on these Baroque armrests. I immediately thought of papercut silhouettes. The step to portraits isn’t so big then. What portrait? A self-portrait!
