About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely pair of Anglo Chinese hand carved Savonarola type armchairs with Dragon heads A very good looking and decorative pair of hand carved circa 1900 horse shoe back armchairs with a Savonarola X-framed base These chairs were made during the Anglo Chinese export period, we were in awe of the wonderful craftsmanship coming out of China and they were making sublime quality furniture for our soldiers and visiting tourists to buy and bring back with them These two are a fine example, they look like they would have had some kind of rattan on the seat base originally due to the holes, I don’t know if the timer is a later addition or if they exactly as they are supposed to be as I’ve never seen another pair like this before What I can say is the carving is very high quality, its ornate, the back splat has a very jolly looking Chinese dancer on, the arm ends are as mentioned dragons and the rest of the frame has a floral feel to it In terms of the condition we have cleaned waxed and polished them from top to bottom, they have a lovely warm glow to them Dimensions: Height 87cm Width 58cm Depth 52.5cm This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
