This impressive throne-style armchair is carved in hardwood with dense, deep relief and pierced openwork dragon decoration. The arched crest shows a pair of dragons flanking a flaming pearl among swirling clouds. The central back panel is pierced and carved with a writhing dragon amid clouds, and the side uprights are carved with coiling dragons. The arms end in bold dragon heads, each with a carved ball in its mouth. The apron is deeply carved with dragons, clouds, and other ornament, and the chair stands on carved legs ending in claw feet. It has a warm reddish-brown finish and comes with a fitted red woven seat cushion trimmed with twisted cord and tassels. It's a true statement piece for an entry, study, or collection of Asian furniture. It measures approximately 25" x 31" x 42". Condition: There is scattered wear to the finish and small areas of finish loss, including on the seat rail, consistent with age and use. The cushion shows light wear. Please see photos for condition.
