Antique Indian Rustic Low Seat Wooden Chair with Carved Rosettes and Twine Seat
Located in Yonkers, NY
An old Indian rustic wooden low chair from the early 20th century, with hand-woven twine and carved motifs. Charming with its rustic appearance, this early 20th-century Indian low wooden chair is a delightful fusion of craftsmanship and practicality. The chair features a short slanted back topped with a small finial, adorned with rosettes hand-carved in low relief within medallions. Below these medallions, a series of petite diamond motifs adds to the intricate detailing, showcasing the artisan's skill.
The rectangular seat, crafted from hand-woven twine, provides a sturdy base, resting low on four short feet. The front legs are baluster-shaped, adding a touch of elegance, while the back legs showcase a curving silhouette, enhancing the chair's overall aesthetic. The nicely weathered appearance of the wood gives this piece an authentic, timeworn charm that brings warmth and character to any space.
Ideal as a decorative accent, this rustic chair can be placed in a mudroom, where it serves as a charming seating option for putting on shoes, or in a child's bedroom, adding a whimsical touch to the decor. Its delicate carvings and robust construction make it both a functional piece and a work of art. This Indian wooden chair...
