About the Item

Elegant pair of antique Chinese armchairs, often referred to as “official’s hat chairs,” dating from the late Qing period. Crafted in solid wood with a naturally aged dark finish, each chair features the characteristic sweeping crest rail that gently curls at the ends, lending the design its distinctive silhouette. The tall backrests are adorned with finely carved openwork panels—one with a circular foliate motif, the other with a more intricate botanical design—adding depth, artistry, and cultural refinement.
