Pair of 19th Century Pink Painted Chinese Yoke-Back Chairs

About the Item

This pair of late 19th-century pink painted chairs features stylishly simple yoke-back designs. Crafted from wood, these beautiful chairs retain their original pink paint, which has developed a wonderful distressed appearance over time due to exquisite patinas. Known as hat chairs, the top rail was often used to hang a hat while seated, adding to their charm and functionality. Entirely handmade and originating from Shanxi Province in China, these chairs date back to the 19th century. The high backs of these gorgeous chairs make them a real statement piece, perfect for an entrance hall or landing. While they are in excellent condition, they do show minor signs of age and use, which only adds to their character without compromising their overall structure or appeal. With a seat height of 52 cm, these chairs remain timeless statement pieces. DIMENSIONS Height 111cm (43.7in) Width 59cm (23.2in) Depth 42cm (16.5in)
