Pair of Chinese Spindleback Armchairs, c. 1850
About the Item
These 19th century spindleback armchairs owe their graceful design to the styles and techniques that emerged during the Ming dynasty, the golden age of Chinese furniture design. Constructed with mortise-and-tenon joinery, these walnut chairs are an uncommon variation on the traditional southern official's armchair form. With a low back and gently curving side posts, these versatile, lightweight chairs have a fantastic sculptural form.
