Chinese Elmwood Dark Patina Dengguayi Scholar's Lamp Armchair with Pierced Splat

About the Item

A Chinese elmwood scholar's lamp-hanger armchair from the late 19th century, with carved splat, dark patina, curving arms and side stretchers. Born in China in the later years of the 19th century, this scholar's lamp-hanger chair called dengguayi features an elegant tall back, topped with a curving rail. The central section presents a concave-shaped pierced splat, decorated with a carved flower, followed by a mythical animal and a flaming motif. Two sinuous open arms with out-scrolling extremities are sitting on the rectangular wooden seat, while the armchair is raised on four straight legs connected to one another through plain side stretchers and is accented by a delicately carved skirt. The perfect contrast of shapes of the upper section, opposing the concave silhouette of the splat and the convex lines of the lateral supports, combined with the refined decor, will make this 1880s elmwood Chinese scholar's lamp-hanger armchair with dark patina a perfect decorative accent for any home, perhaps placed in an office, bedroom or living room.
