Description
Depth: 17.0" // Unusual for its small scale, this 19th-century tall back chair is a diminutive update on the classic yoke-back armchair popular since the Song dynasty. The traditional seat is also referred to as an official’s hat chair, since the overhung head rail mimics the brimmed hats of imperial bureaucrats. Once reserved for royalty, these chairs became status symbols for the elite, given pride of place in a prominent room to show off the owner’s rank and importance.
