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 plum tree" design decorate the back splat of the chairs. The front panels underneath the seats are uniquely carved with a lot of details. Made of Elm Wood. Excellent condition. Excellent condition. Original patina and wear.
