Here is a stunning, hand-carved wood chair featuring an extraordinary openwork dragon motif, carved from a single, thick section of root or trunk. The back and arms are formed by two highly detailed dragons with expressive faces, curling horns, flowing whiskers, and deeply carved scales, their bodies arcing to create a dramatic, pierced backrest. The seat is a solid, rounded slab with a natural central hollow, resting on a substantial pedestal base that retains the organic contours, fissures, and growth patterns of the original wood. The surface shows a rich, warm honey-brown patina with visible grain, age cracks, and natural variations that emphasize its hand-carved, root-wood construction.
This piece functions as an accent chair or meditation chair, but also works beautifully as a sculptural piece of art in a foyer, garden room, or collector’s interior. The dragons, traditional symbols of strength, protection, and good fortune in East Asian culture, give the chair powerful presence and visual impact. It is as much a work of folk sculpture as it is functional seating.
