Elm Traditional Kitchen & Dining Chairs

Warm Elm

Handcrafted in traditional Chinese style, this solid elmwood armchair is wonderful both displayed alone and with a statement cushion.

We chose it to match an existing desk and it goes perfectly and is very comfortable to sit on - use it every day for several hours at a time, and I do like comfort!. David. West Horrington Wells, . Thu Jan 07 2016

The Chinese developed folding furniture very early on, with folding stools being recorded from the Han dynasty almost two thousand years ago. The folding armchair was particularly common during the Ming dynasty and was made either for traveling or for easy storage. Our version is a very accurate reproduction of antique Chinese chairs from that time and is carved entirely by hand. The main carving on the backrest depicts a Kylin (a Chinese unicorn), while above is a coiled dragon inside a 'ruyi' shaped medallion - a symbol of prosperity. The seat is woven, while the chair is fitted with decorative mounts. The carved footrest also includes decoration. Made of reclaimed elm, this large chair is beautifully created and will add a wow factor to any room.

This type of Chinese chair takes its name from its yoke-shaped top rail and is commonly found as far back as the Ming Dynasty. Its S-shaped curved backrest contrasts beautifully with the slightly splayed legs. It includes a carved Chinese dragon motif on the backrest, and a rattan inlaid seat for extra comfort. Part of the Hangzhou furniture range, handcrafted from reclaimed elmwood.
