Description

Notes from appraiser:
A description of the history of this style chair: This style chair, commonly referred to as the official’s hat chair, is the most successful of Chinese chair designs and one of the earliest styles to emerge.
This type of chair was not used for personal contemplation. It has a more distinctive role in the Chinese home to receive guests in the main hall or to be used by scholars in their studies.
The chair would benefit from a few coats of a good canned PASTE wax with polishing between each coat.
