They are a pair of similar but not identical chairs -- I call them "fraternal twins." Vivid multicolored Otomi hand embroidery on a black cotton background, and new black leather cushions. On the chair with the cane seat and the partial cane back, the leather cushion is removable.

Like most Mexicans, I am descended from both indigenous people of our beautiful country -- in my case probably Aztecs or Tlaxcalans -- and Spanish colonists. I envision some of the most beautiful expressions of Mexican aesthetics as combinations of the amazing beauty of traditional Native American and Spanish craftsmanship.

Dimensions of the larger chair are: 23.5" w, 25.5" d, 33" h, 20.5 seat height.
smaller chair with the caning: 21" w, 19" d, 37" h, seat height 19. See less
