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.

Antique 18th Century Chinese Yoke-Back Armchair in Lacquered Pearwood
Located in Meer, VAN
Antique 18th Century Chinese Yoke-Back Armchair in Lacquered Pearwood.
A stunning antique Chinese yoke-back armchair from the 18th century. A remarkable design - quintessentially Chinese and of monumental proportions. Should have been a chair for someone important. The design rooted in the Ming-style from several hundred years before this chair was created - showing straight and strict proportions combined with sculptural and flowing shapes all hand carved from solid wood. Remarkable to see a chair this 'boxy' could be so sculptural and dynamic in appearance. Also, this chair is quite comfortable to sit in.
Whereas in Japan it was the custom to kneel on the floor or to squat on cushions, chairs were the rule in China from an early date - both for dining and relaxing. Chairs with arms were more honorific than those without and both kinds were for men - women sat on stools. The design of these antique Chinese chairs...
