Chinese Low Back Lady's Chair, c. 1900
About the Item
Dated to the late 19th century, this petite ladies' chair combines the low, square back of traditional rose chairs with the round frame and cabriole legs of waisted display tables. The chair features an open back with shallow arms, curved to match the contours of the round seat. Favoring the inherent beauty of huali rosewood, the chair is decorated only by scrollwork on the apron and a beaded edge trimming each leg. Placed beside a vanity or accenting a parlor, this unusual seat elevates its surroundings with effortless sophistication.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

- Chinese Provincial Round Back Chair, c. 1850Located in Chicago, ILPrior to the 10th century, Chinese society eschewed raised seats in favour of mats. The rising popularity of chairs and other forms of elevated seating led craftsmen to adapt traditional cabinetry and architecture techniques to the human body. In the case of this Yuanyi, or round chair, the flowing crest rail is a direct descendant of the simple armrests that had traditionally supported individuals on mats in their homes. This homage to an ancestral form, combined with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery techniques, created an elegant, functional chair that has endured for centuries and inspired many contemporary furniture designers...Category
