This elegant and stable chair supports you with a gently curving back, subtly engraved with a floral dragon motif.
The fully rounded arms flare lightly to provide support your wrists, giving this chair the feeling which is half its namesake - the second half is provided by the delicate light stain that accents the dramatic Elm wood grain.
The base of the chair is accented by a flared cutout section, and the footrest is supported by a sturdy beam which displays more of the fantastic Elm grain.

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.
