This fascinating Chinese chair in Ming style, dating back to the 20th century and of Chinese craftsmanship, represents a fine example of traditional artistry, crafted from high-quality hardwood. The structure of the chair is a perfect example of elegance and refinement, typical of Chinese tradition, with simple yet harmonious lines that give it visual lightness and sobriety. The backrest of the chair is particularly noteworthy for its refined carvings, adding an artistic and symbolic dimension.

This decorative choice reflects a deep connection with culinary culture and family tradition, transforming the chair into a true homage to Chinese daily life. The elegant and simple lines of the structure, combined with the refined carvings, make this chair a timeless piece. Despite its simplicity, the artistic and symbolic details give this chair added value, making it an ideal furnishing accessory for those who appreciate Eastern art and culture. This Ming-style chair, with its symbolic carvings and artisanal quality, is a perfect fusion of beauty and functionality. An object of great cultural value, perfect for enriching any space with a touch of history and Oriental refinement.
