About the Item

A near pair of Ming Dynasty style vintage wedding armchairs from the mid-20th century, with woven rattan seats, curving armrests and natural wood patina. This near pair of Ming dynasty style vintage wedding armchairs, crafted in the mid-20th century, exudes timeless elegance with their natural wood patina and graceful design. Each chair features a slightly varied open back with a curving splat, adding a subtle uniqueness to the pair. The armchairs are flanked by serpentine open arms, whose gentle curves culminate in gooseneck front posts that rest upon a woven rattan seat, enclosed within a sturdy wooden frame. The sinuous side posts, adding strength and style, lead the eye to the gracefully arch-shaped aprons that adorn the front and sides of the chairs. Originally designed to seat the bride as she was led to meet her future husband, these armchairs carry a rich cultural significance. Their construction is a blend of function and art, with the chairs raised on four legs connected by stretchers of varying heights, ensuring both stability and an elegant silhouette. The natural patina of the wood, enhanced by years of use, adds a layer of authenticity and warmth to the chairs. These vintage Ming dynasty style armchairs, with their refined lines and cultural heritage, will make for exquisite decorative accents in any home. Whether placed in a foyer to greet guests with historical charm, in a living room to provide a touch of elegance, or in a bedroom or office to offer a quiet, contemplative space, this near pair of wedding armchairs will bring both beauty and history to any setting.
