About the Item
A Chinese antique Qing dynasty scholar's lamp-hanger armchair from the late 19th century, with sinuous pierced splat, dark patina, curving arms and side stretchers. This exquisite Chinese antique Qing dynasty scholar's lamp-hanger armchair, known as dengguayi, dates back to the late 19th century and showcases an elegant synthesis of form and function. Featuring a sinuous pierced splat within its tall, curving backrest and serpentine open arms with outward-scrolling extremities, this chair embodies traditional Chinese aesthetics with its dark, rich patina and graceful lines.
Raised on four straight, subtly splaying legs connected by plain side stretchers and a curving apron, the chair's structure supports a comfortable rectangular wooden seat. The contrasting shapes in the design—the concave splat and convex arm supports—create a dynamic visual interest, making this chair a standout piece.
Ideal for an office, library, or living room, this scholar's chair not only serves as a functional seating option but also as a significant decorative element. Its historical and cultural significance adds depth to any interior, blending seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional decor. Adding this armchair to a home environment provides a touch of elegance and a nod to scholarly pursuits, perfect for creating a contemplative and stylish corner in any space.
