n/a


$ 1,699.00

This style of chair is known as "official's hat chair" because the projections over the rear stiles resemble the knobs on the black hats once worn by high-ranking administrators in Ming Dynasty. These chairs are high back and handcrafted and structured with wooden pegs and tenon structure,  which is the very traditional craftsmanship for furniture making in ancient China. Intricate carvings of Chinese calligraphy "Happiness) and "deer under cypress tree" design decorate the back splat of the chairs. The front panels underneath the seats are uniquely carved with a lot of details. Made from Elm wood with beautiful wood grain, these chairs are very heavy and have been kept in excellent condition. Original patina and wear. 

Size:  W26.5" x D23" x H48"
