A distinguished pair of Anglo-Indian chairs, likely dating from the 19th century, showcasing intricate craftsmanship. Each chair is constructed from a rich, dark hardwood, possibly teak or rosewood, and features extensive bone inlay work. The tall backs are surmounted by elaborately carved crest rails with foliate and scroll motifs. The central back panel of each chair contains a finely rendered marquetry scene depicting a classical figure within an arched niche, executed in contrasting wood tones and bone. The uprights and seat rails are adorned with continuous patterns of inlaid bone stars and geometric designs. The shaped seats also feature complex geometric starburst patterns in bone inlay. The chairs stand on square legs connected by stretchers, with a decorative carved stretcher element between the front legs. The construction points to a fusion of European furniture forms with traditional Indian decorative arts, characteristic of Anglo-Indian colonial furniture.
