Description
DeepL TranslateJiangsu, circa 1860
Made from heavy rosewood in Jiangsu province, Eastern China, this impressive chair would have been designated for the use of household elders. It dates from the mid nineteenth century and is in a design that appeared later on in China's history - heavier and more ornate than the simple, elegant style of Ming furniture. The scrolling arms and posts of the upper part of the chair are stepped with S shapes and end in stylised dragons. The deep, waisted seat is over thick legs that end in shallow, horse hoof feet.
