Andrianna Shamaris Rare Antique African Palaver Chair
About the Item
Rare antique African hand carved chair. Beautiful patina on the single wood back rest, with multiple motifs. This folding chair is made from a single piece of ébéniste wood from west Africa. Also called guard chair, the palaver chair is a traditional African furniture, once reserved for the African elite. We have a collection of three. The images and price reflect the one shown.
This chair was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
