About the Item

An antique Chinese wooden chair from the 19th century, with hand carved panels, red and gold accents and natural wood patina. This Chinese chair captures our attention with its exquisite silhouette and intricate carving. Our eye is immediately drawn to the richly carved back, topped with an out-scrolling rail and adorned with delicate scrolls. The central splat is pierced with an intricate arrangement of scrolls and adorned with a red and gold scene showcasing a Chinese figure carved in low-relief, carrying an object, and walking in front of a low wall accented by a tree on the right. The open arms, presenting exquisite scrolls, are resting on the rectangular wooden seat. Raised on four straight legs connected to one another through side stretchers and accented with curling spandrels, this antique Chinese chair is appealing from any side. Used as an accent chair or desk chair, it will bring a refined touch to any home. We have another similar chair available that would work wonderfully with this chair to create a pair.

Late 19th Century Qing Dynasty Red Lacquered and Parcel-Gilt Altar Chair
By James Mont, Tony Duquette
Located in Glasgow, GB
A late 19th-century Chinese Qing Dynasty altar chair, exquisitely handcrafted from hardwood and finished in a bold imperial red lacquer.
