Typical of the style from Shanxi province, these stunning chairs with their distinctive, prominently curved 'Yoke-Back' head rests, have been refinished with a distressed, blue lacquer. The subtly curved backrests have an open carving, which shows a 'Ruyi' motif for good luck. Note that the footrest and stretchers gradually step up from front to back. The term for this in Chinese is 'bubugao', meaning 'step higher' - a phrase that originally referred to the promotion of an official.
Sold as a pair, the price shown is for both chairs. less
