A spectacular hand-carved Chinese hardwood armchair, richly detailed with dragons, phoenixes and floral motifs - symbolic of strength, prosperity, and longevity. The arms are sculpted as fierce dragon heads clutching pearls, while the backrest features finely carved cranes among peonies - a traditional emblem of peace and good fortune.
The chair showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of the late Qing dynasty period, with deep relief carving, scrollwork, and a beautifully aged patina. A striking statement piece ideal for a grand entry, study, or as an accent chair in an eclectic interior. Circa 19th century.
