About the Item
Hand-Carved Walnut High Back Chairs, Indonesia, Early 20th Century
An exceptional pair of early 20th-century high-back chairs, hand-carved from solid walnut in Indonesia circa 1930. These richly detailed pieces exemplify the masterful wood craftsmanship and bold design language of the period, combining traditional Indonesian artistry with strong, architectural lines.
Each chair features a high, elegantly curved back and sweeping armrests, all meticulously adorned with deep-relief carvings. Ornamental floral and foliate motifs span across the sides, back, and front apron, adding a dramatic and sculptural quality to the overall silhouette. The solid walnut frames offer warmth and natural texture, beautifully enhanced by the wood’s aged patina.
Upholstered in their original red fabric, the chairs strike a rich contrast between vivid textile and carved wood. The fabric shows some minor signs of wear consistent with use and age but remains both vibrant and serviceable. These chairs are structurally sound and designed for comfort, with a spacious seat and relaxed, upright posture.
With a commanding presence and generous proportions—73 cm wide, 115 cm deep, and 125 cm high—this pair works equally well as accent seating in a curated interior or as decorative focal points in an entry, library, or sitting room.
Condition:
Very good overall. Light cosmetic wear consistent with age, including minor scratches and natural surface patina. No structural issues. Upholstery is original and intact. Restoration or reupholstery services available upon request—please contact our team for more details.
