The defining characteristic of this model is the elegant open spindle-rail gallery running along the top crest, adding a sophisticated, architectural detail to its profile.

Engineered for optimal relaxation in tropical climates, the chair features the iconic dual-layer armrests with lower panels that smoothly extend forward into integrated leg rests. Masterfully carved from solid indigenous hardwood—likely Sheesham or Teak—the wood displays a gorgeous, warm golden-honey patina. A prominently raked, reclining frame is balanced by turned spindle front legs and square-blocked joints. Fitted with traditional hand-woven cane webbing on both the seat and back, it offers highly breathable, flexible, and comfortable support. Perfect as a standalone statement piece or paired with a similar model for an eclectic veranda layout. See less
