Hand-Carved Azalea Root Settee with Reddish-Brown Lacquer Finish, Organic Design

About the Item

A lacquered settee hand carved out of one complete azalea root. This striking settee, hand-carved from a single azalea root, captures the natural beauty and organic intricacies of the wood, creating a truly unique and artistic piece. The settee features an intricate base, back, and arms, showcasing the organic, flowing forms of the azalea root, accentuated by a rich reddish-brown lacquer. The lacquer finish enhances the natural grain of the wood, bringing out its deep tones and adding a bright yet warm presence to the ensemble. Root carving, a traditional Chinese art form, is celebrated in this settee, making it not only a functional piece of furniture but also a work of art. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces, this settee would make a beautiful addition to a living room, patio, or sunroom, inviting nature's elegance into your home. For those interested in completing the look, the full set is available, including a pair of matching armchairs (item LU863922135122) and a coffee table (LU863922134942). See photo number 4. Whether used as a focal point or as part of a larger seating arrangement, this hand-carved azalea root settee offers an earthy yet refined aesthetic, seamlessly blending art and nature.
