"Craftsmanship, regal and comfortable"

I have purchased many items from Novica and was always overly happy. However, this chair shocked me. Its one of the more amazing purchases I have made in my life. With respect to the artist and as funny as it sounds, I actually feel the artistry and love you put into this chair everytime I sit down. Thank is not enough...

"Outstanding beautiful wood/leather chair"

The workmanship and detail of this chair is very impressive. It is very easy to put together with a rubber mallet and some wood glue. The design of this chair is brilliant.

"Such a beautiful piece"

This chair is absolutely exquisite. The craftsmanship, the detail, and the care put into this product is incredible. I love how it has that 16th century Renaissance look. It also has a very nice weight to it. I got it as a gift for my church. Thank you Rios family for your amazing talent.

"Chair for a life time !"

If you want to have a master piece in your house, don t hesitate buying this chair. The tooled leather is gorgeous and the wood is polished to perfection. It s relatively easy to assembly and it was packed with lots of care. The chair is a conversation starter. I m very grateful for being able to get it and I m looking forward to enjoying it for many years ahead. All my thanks to the artisans family.

"A Queens Treasure"

Oh my what a masterpiece! Ive been waiting several years for this chair. It arrived VERY well wrapped and all in order. The instructions were mostly clear though the pics were a bit dark. It wouldve helped to have items labelled A,B,C. I needed a second pair of hands to securely hammer in the back and arms. We did have to file down the two grooves but all then fit well.When all was done I sat back in awe. The carving and quality is superior and Id say its my fave Novica buy thus far. I did make one error in placing the bottom arches on the wrong side. Still it is a beauty and makes the back of the chair a beauty as well!

"Unsurpassed Craftsmanship"

Beautifully finished and detailed small wood and leather chest, most apt for use as a jewelry box. The leather is finely embossed with Inca symbols. I was also surprised that it was larger than it appeared in the picture. This is true craftsmanship and quality. Recommend this artisan and his products highly!

"I LOVE this chest, but..."

The hinge is not working properly -- my husband will try to repair the cracked wood as the chest is absolutely gorgeous!

It exceeds our expectations in beauty, functionality, quality and uniqueness. And to know it was lovingly crafted by hand in Peru is perhaps the best feature of all. Many thanks!
