With well-carved, curved crest rail over a single, broad S-shaped splat. The curved arm rails are supported on tapered, curved vertical slats and extend beyond the curved front posts. The molded rectangular frames enclose an inset seat. Size: Each 49'' x 26'' x 22'' (124 x 66 x 56 cm).
Handcrafted of aged rosewood and hand lacquered to enhance its mellow beauty, this pair of horse shoe chairs are a contemporary rendition of the traditional Ming style Chairs.
The legs end in a claw and ball design that is symbol of power and protection.
The back of each chair has three significant symbols neatly carved
- Cloud
- The dragon - a symbol of protection and good fortune. Residing in the clouds, the dragon is seen as a harbinger of rain and a good harvest
- The endless knot, originally a Buddhist emblem from India and Hinduism, has nine crossings (nine being a strong yang number) and its endless cycle suggests immortality and the infinite wisdom of Buddha
Hand lacquered for a smooth finish.
Custom made white silk cushions. Removable outer cover. Fastens with velcro to avoid slipping. Cushions Included here as a sample template
Made in the 1950s. From a private estate in Tokyo
* Ming - Ming style furniture combines advanced engineering with minimalist aesthetic. With simple lines and curves that favour grace over extravagance, the furniture showcases an ingenious joinery system that employs a seamless mitre, mortise and tenon construction. This tradition embodies the technical know-how of Ming artisans, the ethos of literati scholars and the elegance of an extraordinary era. less
