About the Item

Late 19th century North Mexico banyan tree root chair. A wondrous late 19th century naturally formed, one-of-a-kind hand-carved Banyan Tree Burl Chair with organic open work back from Northern Mexico. This chair with its all natural intricate interweaving roots, is a showstopper from every angle. This chair was originally in my family's Tucson, Arizona property and has never before appeared on the market or been offered for sale.
