The chair is a Louis XIII style armchair made of wood, upholstered with black sheepskin, and set on casters.
It is 4 feet by 2 feet 2 inches by 2 feet 8 inches (123 x 68 x 82 cm).
It was first used in 1673 by Molière for the premiere of Le Malade imaginaire,
and is the chair he died on during the performance.
It was used by successive actors playing Argan until 1879.
Thats 209 years, math-wizard.
At that point, it had become so worn
that a replica was made for the current Argan
and the original placed on display.
Sorry.......
I loved the chair - you know how to find interesting items.
