Gothic high back chairs
A high back chair is like any other usual chair. But the backrest of high back chairs is tall to reach up to the neck or above of the person sitting on it. High back chairs are cushioned and are kept in the dining room. The high back chair can also be in the form of executive chairs. The high back chairs mainly signify two things, comfort, and power.
Usually, Gothic high back chairs, like any other High back chairs, have extended backrests to provide a high degree of comfort. The high backrest provides support and cushioning to the back, shoulders, and neck of the person sitting on it. Usually, Gothic high back chairs do not have extra fancy armrests, but custom made Gothic upper back chairs come with fancy and highly cushioned armrests.
Gothic design
The Gothic design originated during the medieval and Victorian era. During that time, it could mainly be seen in architecture. But slowly, it started to be adopted in interior decorations and appliances as well. The Gothic design is highly inspired by nature and requires a high degree of craftsmanship. The Gothic design portrays religious values, or it could also represent darkness as well. Gothic designs portray power in both its light and dark form. The high back chair is also a symbol of power, which makes a Gothic high back chair an appropriate choice to properly fulfill a Gothic theme for interior decoration.
Materials used
Usually, a Gothic high back chair is made of wood. The woods which are normally used are walnut, oak, and pine as these woods are strong in nature and also easy to carve. Creating the marvellous designs by engraving on the woods adds aesthetic beauty to the Gothic high back chairs and other furniture. There are other reasons for using wood too. Woods can be easily bleached and can also be stained, which helps to keep the look intact. The additional advantage of using wood is that it is easy to clean and is rust and termite free.
Design
The gothic high back chairs are generally black or dark brown in color. Gothic art tends to follow a dark color palette. The upholsters of the Gothic high back chairs are in contrast, colors like darker shades of red, orange, green, purple, and so on. The materials of upholsters are velvet, which makes the look of the Gothic high back chair more vibrant.
The designs of these chairs are inspired by the Gothic culture and the architecture of churches. The designs also reflect the creatures from the myths and also gargoyles.
The very common and unique designs that symbolize the Gothic high back chairs are the pillar-like pointed arches on the backrest similar to those of the castles. The backrest of the Gothic high back chairs exceeds the height of the person who sits on the chair to exert the notion of power through the design. If someone goes for the Gothic theme, then he can pair the high-end Gothic chair with the Gothic beds and other furniture and match the upholstery accordingly. This creates a stunning and gorgeous, yet sublimed look in the interior of the room.
Strength of the chair
The legs of the Gothic high back chair are thick and robust so that it can carry the average weight of a human being. Hence the joints are made extraordinarily strong. It is because of this reason that the woods of specific categories like oak or pine are used.
A Gothic high back chair is one of the most pristine pieces of furniture and art that compliments a Gothic style interior decoration. The Gothic-styled high back chair displays a high degree of craftsmanship and is a symbol of finesse. This is one of the most important and must-have investments to complete the look of a Gothic theme.
