This solid yet sophisticated chair is constructed of elm wood and covered by a black lacquer finish. This finish is delicately distressed, revealing the rich elm grain beneath.
Intricate floral carvings line the edge of both the seat and back, and an elegant geometric cut-out design serve to reinforce the sturdy yet distinguished feel of this chair.

Throughout Western history, armchairs have been a symbol of state and dignity. They were incredibly elaborate and ornate, decadently upholstered and often encrusted with precious stones.
In the 12th century, this custom was brought to China and applied with an Eastern sense of beauty and appreciation. Constructed from earthy hard woods, the chairs' structure was constructed and joined ingeniously (they did not use glue or nails), and the shape was gracefully curved.
Loving detail was put into carvings in the legs, and symbolism was portrayed prominently; through engraved characters on the backs, and stunning lacquers.
The armchairs you find here are replications of these old antiques. The techniques used to construct them remain the same however, and have been handed down for generations with only slight variations in design.
