About the Item

An Anglo-Indian carved wooden armchair from circa 1900 with carved back and mythical creatures on the arms. This magnificent Anglo-Indian carved wooden armchair, dating from circa 1900, is a striking blend of intricate craftsmanship and storytelling artistry. The chair's back is a masterful composition of scrolling foliage, beautifully flanked by intricately low-relief carved dragons that infuse the piece with an air of mystique and grandeur. The centerpiece of the back is woven rattan, adding a subtle textural contrast that complements the detailed carving work. The seat, also fashioned from woven rattan, is both comfortable and visually appealing, ensuring the chair is as functional as it is beautiful. The arms are a particular highlight, showcasing spectacular mythical creatures carved with precision and attention to detail. These captivating creatures guide the eye down to the richly carved base, where cylindrical tapering legs are adorned with more mythical beings that seem to wrap themselves around the legs. A meticulously carved apron rounds out the piece, adding a final touch of elegance. This chair would serve as a stunning focal point in a living room or study, where its detailed carvings could be admired up close. It could also grace a master bedroom, offering a touch of historical allure and a comfortable spot to sit and reflect. The chair’s robust, mythical presence makes it a conversation starter, and a unique piece that could bring character to both traditional and modern interiors.
