Pair of Chinese Rose Chairs with Quatrefoil Cutouts, c. 1850
About the Item
For many years, rose chairs were thought to have been exclusively used by women due to their floral name. However, they were a universal form of seating, typically used for writing due to their low back and small frame. This pair of 19th-century walnut rose chairs was constructed in China's Shanxi province using traditional mortise and tenon joinery techniques to continuously join the top rail, sides, and legs.
The back and sides are kept open with decorative quatrefoil cutouts, a charming detail that softens the chairs' otherwise angular forms. Cloaked in a layer of rich lacquer, the pair has an inimitable warmth and softness that can only be achieved by centuries of use.
