Pair of Chinese Low Back Armchairs, c. 1850
About the Item
These exquisitely carved, low-back armchairs are utterly unique in silhouette and decoration. Constructed in the Taishiyi style, an ancient design intended for imperial palaces, the chairs play with tradition with scalloped aprons and stepped arm rails. Ornately carved dragons formed of swirling clouds adorn each chair's back and sides, surrounding a central Shou character, a symbol of longevity. Designed with a compact form for easy transport, these petite chairs are nonetheless overflowing with time-honored character.
