Yumu Wood Chinese Chair With Hand-Carved Decor and Lacquered Finish

Description

A yumu wood Chinese accent chair with hand-carved splat, fretwork patterns and lacquered finish. This Chinese carved chair features an arched pierced back, beautifully adorned with a central splat presenting motifs reminiscent of a geometric scale, measuring the weight of an item. Fretwork motifs connect the central cartouche to the outer frame. A rectangular planked seat rests on four straight legs connected to one another through a cross stretcher and a discrete carved skirt.

The simple yet elegant silhouette, combined with the dark lacquer of the yumu wood and lovely hand-carved decor, will make this Chinese accent chair an excellent choice for any home, whether placed in a foyer, living room or bedroom.
