Framed: NoLength: 22 1/4 inchesWidth: 22 inchesHeight: 34 1/2 inchesDescription: This is a 19th century antique Chinese horseshoe-style chair made likely from elmwood. The chair was fabricated using pegs and specially carved joinery that reinforces the structure of the chair. The base has A-shaped legs on each side that are conjoined with a footrest. The seat is rectangular with a depression that suggests there was once an accompanying cushion. Two oblong dowels support the yoked armrest and the backrest consists of a single narrow panel with a circular design in relief near the top. Antique chairs of this style are often modeled after those typical of the Ming Dynasty.
