A Dutch-colonial Indonesian Sono keeling and paduk miniature chair

About the Item

Batavia (Jakarta), early 18th century H. 79.4 x W. 41.6 x D. 36 cm H. 31.4 cm (seat height) This high-back miniature chair, after the Anglo-Dutch Queen Anne style chair with a vase-shaped central splat and ball and claw feet, became popular in Holland during the first quarter of the 18th century. Chinese chairs imported into England around 1700 may have been examples for the development of the Queen Anne style chairs. The central splat carried through to the seat in the present chair is typically Chinese and so probably are the cleaved hoof feet. This suggest that this miniature chair was made by a Chinese furniture maker in Batavia in the early 18th century.
