It features carved hoof-like front feet, a wooden seat covered by a finely woven mat, a fretwork back with a double circle design, one stick and ball decoration, crossed stretchers with finials, and grooved finials at the top. The colors range from golden brown to dark brown.
The Aesthetic Movement started in 1860 and ended in 1900, offering clean lines and simplicity of form to counter Victorian fussiness. Artisans created furniture with geometric designs inspired partly by Asian influences, particularly Japanese. The circles on the back of this chair are significant in Japanese art and culture, symbolizing harmony, balance, and the eternal cycle of life.
This sturdy chair can stand alone, be a special seating spot for contemplation, be stacked high with books for visual appeal or be paired with a petite desk. A custom seat cushion could be added for more comfort. See less
