Chinese Antique Chairs In Set of Two Hand Carved Elmwood

  A rare and restored Chinese set of two matrimonial chairs dating from 1930-1940, this pair of Elmwood (Hongmu) armchairs is a rare matching set, prized for its age, quality, and outstanding craftsmanship. These chairs, traditionally used by heads of families, scholars, and officials in the Qing dynasty, showcase rich wood grain enhanced by clear lacquer, expertly carved from solid elm using old-world Chinese wood joinery techniques.

  The low backs, inset carved panels, and rounded edges offer a distinctive decorative element, blending cultural diversity with versatile style for modern or cottage interiors. We collected these in northern China, where they were restored to their original beauty. Their simple Ming design, oxhorn top rail, and sturdy leg stretchers make this matching set a unique and valuable find, with a rich walnut antique patina certain to enhance any interior.
