This beautiful Burgomaster colonial chair is raised on six cabriole legs with lion-paw feet, and has a semi-circular back decorated with carved medallions and flowers. This type of furniture was developed in the late 17th century in the former Dutch colonies in the East Indies and Indian subcontinent. Colonial inventories described such chairs as “round chairs” but they became known as “burgomaster chairs” in the 19th century. The name “burgomaster” is derived from the Dutch term “burgemeester”, which refers to individuals holding high positions. This also implies that such chairs would have been used by people of rank and status.
