About the Item

This is an old wooden chair made in India around the 20th century. Carved from a single log, it exudes a warmth and strength that can only be achieved through handcrafting—something that machine processing simply cannot replicate. The marks left by hand tools are clearly visible on the backrest and seat, with the chisel marks on the seat particularly prominent, vividly conveying the presence of the artisan who crafted it. As shown in the photos, the seat is not perfectly level and has a slight incline, but this does not affect its usability. In fact, it is precisely this subtle irregularity and distortion that give the chair its unique charm. It is also worth noting that the tips of the two front legs have been extended at a later date. However, this modification is subtle and does not detract from the overall appearance. In addition, a felt pad has been applied to the bottom of the left leg to compensate for slight wobbling and ensure stability. The primitive form, free of ornamentation, blends seamlessly into a wide range of interiors while maintaining a strong presence. Whether paired with Asian, modern, or natural decor, this piece harmonizes beautifully with various styles. It can serve not only as a functional chair, but also as an art piece or sculptural object that adds depth and character to any space. As a “sculpture in daily life,” this chair has the potential to become the centerpiece of a room. The high backrest and cocoon-like shape offer a sense of security, while the solid weight and deep, lustrous color of the wood tell the story of time passing and the beauty it leaves behind. With curves that gently embrace the body, subtly wavering lines, and thick, robust legs, the chair offers a captivating form from every angle. This is a piece that would be extremely difficult to reproduce today, imbued with the presence of a true one-of-a-kind item. We especially recommend it to those who appreciate antiques and craftsmanship. Dimensions are as follows: seat width 37 cm, depth 35.5 cm, height approximately 33.5–35 cm. Weight: 12.8 kg. If you’re looking to bring a sense of “story” into your living space, this chair is sure to fulfill that desire. Quiet yet compelling, it has the power to transform the atmosphere of a room. We also have another chair of the same design available. Please take a look at that one as well. Weight: 12.8kg Item No.: ch055B
