Pair of Chinese Walnut Spindleback Chairs, c. 1900

About the Item

This pair of early 20th century walnut chairs owes its graceful design to the styles and techniques that emerged during the Ming dynasty, the golden age of Chinese furniture design. The clean lines of the spindleback form are interrupted by carved aprons on each chair's front, ornately cusped to resemble Ming-dynasty waisted stools. With a low back and gently tapered legs, these versatile, lightweight chairs have fantastic sculptural presence. Additional dimensions: Seat height: 20.25".
