About the Item

This is an old wooden chair made in India, dating back to around the 20th century. Carved directly from a single log, it conveys a warmth and strength that can only come from handcrafted work—something that machine processing simply cannot replicate. Traces of handwork are clearly visible on the backrest and seat, where the marks of carving tools remain. In particular, the seat bears strong chisel marks that vividly convey the presence and intention of the artisan. As shown in the photographs, the seat surface is not perfectly level, but it poses no issue in actual use and offers a stable and comfortable seating experience. Rather, this subtle unevenness and distortion is part of what makes the chair so uniquely appealing. Its primitive, unadorned design blends effortlessly into various interiors while still commanding a strong presence. Whether placed in an Asian, modern, or natural-style space, it harmonizes beautifully—not only as a functional chair but also as an art piece or sculptural object that adds depth and character. This is a piece that could easily serve as the centerpiece of a room, a “sculpture” woven into daily life. The tall backrest and enveloping shape offer a visual sense of security and comfort. The weighty, solid texture of the wood and its deep, rich tones speak of a beauty that has grown with time and use. The softly curving surfaces, subtly irregular lines, and robust, powerful legs form a silhouette that is compelling from every angle. Chairs like this are nearly impossible to reproduce in the modern age, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece. We especially recommend it to those who appreciate antiques and handcrafted furniture. The dimensions are as follows: seat width 37cm, depth 36cm, seat height approximately 33.5 to 35cm. It weighs 12.8kg, providing excellent stability. For those who wish to add a “story” to their space, this chair will surely meet that desire. Quietly, yet assuredly, it has the presence to transform the atmosphere of a room. Another chair of the same design is also available. Please take a look at that one as well. Weight: 12.8kg Item No.: ch055AThis is an old wooden chair crafted in India around the 20th century. It is said to have been made by a tribe living near the border between India and Myanmar. Carved from a single piece of solid wood, the chair carries a warmth and strength that only handcrafted pieces can convey—something that cannot be replicated through machine processing.
