Pair of 19th Century Chinese Rosewood Chairs with Toile Medallion

About the Item

Fine antique Chinese rosewood side or dining chairs with an upholstered Chinoiserie toile medallion, circa late 19th century. They feature a carved scrolling backrest with central floral detail and neutral cream linen upholstery in a charming Asian themed toile fabric. The comfortable seat has a recessed center and is gently contoured and rounded at the knee with a beautifully carved apron. The shapely front legs have nice curvature while the back legs are round and straight. Likely commissioned to a local maker for custom design, the pair is an excellent example of fine Chinese craftsmanship. They have a dark and satiny, nicely aged patina. Gorgeous and versatile chairs wonderful as accent or dining chairs.
