The half-man half-horse chair points to the history of ancient Greece inhabited in days of yore by a tribe of creatures that were part-human and part-equine – the centaurs. Greek poets dedicated their hymns to the love between the mighty centaurs and their meek wives, the centaurides.
The female’s active role at the forefront of the composition reminds us of the saying “happy wife, happy life”.
