The 'moongazing' chair, also known as a 'moon chair,' is a type of Chinese armchair characterized by its circular or rounded frame, often resembling a full moon. These chairs were traditionally made from hardwoods like rosewood or huanghuali and were popular during the Ming and Qing dynasties. They were designed for comfort and contemplation, with a focus on elegant lines and craftsmanship, often used by scholars and literati.
This particular chair, identified as a reclining 'moongazing' chair, deviates slightly from the classic circular frame but retains the spirit of contemplative seating. The use of rosewood, a highly prized hardwood in Chinese furniture making, indicates a piece of quality and value. The late Qing Dynasty period (1644-1912) was a time when traditional furniture styles continued to be produced, though often with evolving aesthetics and influences.
