While we have no provenance other than this chair came from an estate near New Orleans, we believe it to be an antique due to construction and condition.
It is a Chinese yoke back chair, made of elm, and constructed with tenon joinery. The yoke back has metal straps on the ends. The back splat is decorated with floral carvings which, it's been said, symbolize peace and harmony. The finish which was once black lacquer is well worn and has not been retouched at all. It is a wonderful chair for the collector who is looking for a piece to complete their chinoiserie decor.
Please see all photos and condition notes as this piece has age to it.
