Vintage Chinoiserie Ming Style Yoke Back Chairs Black Lacquered Style James Mont

About the Item

Wonderful vintage Asian Chinoiserie Ming style yoke back chairs with black lacquered frames & brass details in the style of James Mont. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. They have a couple of dings we’ve seen but nothing major. These chairs have been professionally cleaned and given a fresh coat of natural Danish oil over their lacquer finish. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid to Late 20th Century. Double your pleasurable seating experience with this pair of magnificent vintage Asian Chinoiserie or Ming style yoke back chairs in the style of James Mont! The frames are comprised of a sultry black lacquer finished hardwood with wide square seat bases, brass details on the front and back seat corners, straight square legs with brass feet or sabots, and a gorgeous horseshoe or yoke backs with brass details and a center back splat featuring a lovely keyhole design… they are STUNNING!! And we haven’t even talked about this incredible FABRIC yet!! Prior to our obtaining these beauties they were re-upholstered in this GORGEOUS silver or gray embroidered faux silk fabric, and they look exquisite!! These chairs are unmarked (we assume whoever reupholstered them removed their tag!) but we have seen similar chairs with the same brass details on the Yoke backs which are tagged as Century furniture, they are the closest representation to these. But the original styling of this chair was a play on an ancient style reinterpreted by the infamous James Mont! They will be fabulous in your living room, one on each side of your sofa or as seating in a bedroom, office, or sitting room. They have an exemplary presence and will add a perfect splash of high style to any room they inhabit. Whether your style leans toward Chinoiserie, mid-century modern, Asian, or Hollywood Regency, they are going to blend in beautifully! We are enamored of this exceptional pair of chinoiserie or Ming style yoke back chairs…if you love them too, you simply need to make them yours!!!

  • Ming Style Black & Burl Coffee Table Attributed Chin Hua Collection by Sabota
    By Century Furniture, Raymond K. Sobota
    Located in Topeka, KS
    Fabulous vintage Ming Style black & burl coffee table Attributed to Chin Hua Collection by Raymond K. Sabota for Century Furniture. This piece has been attributed based upon archived research including online sources, vintage documentation and catalogs, designer literature, and other materials. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, it has small nicks, dings, & scratches in the black lacquer frame that we have touched up and possible scratches on the burl top. Please see photos and zoom in for details as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. There are lots of coffee tables in this world. But once in a blue moon you come across a TREASURE of a coffee table like this one!!! This piece is attributed to the original Chin Hua Collection designed by Raymond K. Sobota for Century Furniture in 1975. The entire collection was retired in1998 after a 23-year successful run. So successful that Century Furniture reissued the collection in 2012. And it is no wonder they revived it. The Chin Hua Collection was one of Century’s most revered collections of all time. And although not marked, this incredible piece bears a striking resemblance to his masterpieces and the paper label on its underside, although hard to read, bears a strong resemblance to the Century Furniture labels. Playing with Ming Style and a bit of Chinoiserie flair this piece has been designed oh-so-handsomely. It is comprised of a sultry black or ebony square wood frame and Ming style legs with a beautiful burl wood inset top. It’s simple and stunning and will add an exquisite presence to your living or family room and will harmonize with or accent many other design styles from mid-century modern to industrial and more. Raymond Karl Sobota (1914-2010) is an award-winning American furniture designer. He attended and obtained his degree in design from Kendall College of Art and Design in his native home of Grand Rapids, Michigan. After graduating in 1946 Sobota apprenticed with his namesake and uncle, a furniture designer as well, Karl Schmidt, who designed for Berkey and Gay Furniture Company. He apprenticed for seven years leading to his designing for Grand Rapids Bookcase and Chair Co., the Mt. Airy Furniture Co., Hekman Furniture and finally Century Furniture for whom he designed from 1952 until 1995. He designed all the company’s wood furniture during that time totally, over 150 collections. The most notable being Citation, Chin Hua, Claridge, and the Henry Ford Museum and the British National Trust collections...
