About the Item

Crafted in the early 20th century, this petite Guatemalan children's chair charms with its playful asymmetry and blend of motifs. Influenced by Spanish Colonial furniture design, the painted chair has an angular back and square seat resting on two hand-turned legs. The low seat is the perfect height for a youngster, but we love this petite chair as a low side table or tabletop display stand. Additional dimensions: Seat height 14" H.

Chinese Provincial Round Back Chair, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
Prior to the 10th century, Chinese society eschewed raised seats in favour of mats.

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...
