The geometrical motifs depicted on the medallion are beautifully echoed on the skirt, carved with a frieze of Greek-key motifs. This subtle repetition of geometric motifs creates a delicate sense of harmony. Two curving open arms rest on a rectangular planked wooden seat, raised on four straight legs reinforced with side stretchers. The result is an elegant Chinese 19th century chair, whose warm patina, clean lines and refined décor will bring a graceful touch to any home, whether placed in an office, living room or foyer.
