About the Item

Ethiopian Carved Wood Chair c. 1930’s-1940’s. We were drawn to this chair for its sharp lines and fine quality of chip carving, as well as its curule shaped legs. It is slightly larger in size than many Ethiopian carved wood chairs which makes it both functional as well as sculptural. There is a discreet, old repair on the seat which is fully stable. Measurements: 30.5” height, 17.75” width, 22” depth
