About the Item

These 20th Century African wooden carved chairs from Congo showcase the sculptural elegance and rich craftsmanship characteristic of Central African design traditions. Each chair features a low, reclining silhouette composed of two interlocking wooden elements, allowing the form to balance gracefully without hardware. The backrests are intricately carved with geometric patterns framed by linear borders—motifs often associated with regional symbolism and artisanal woodworking heritage. Crafted from solid hardwood with a deep, warm patina, the chairs display subtle variations in tone and carving that speak to hand-made production. Their minimalist yet expressive shapes make them striking functional objects as well as collectible art pieces. Whether used as accent seating or displayed as sculptural décor, this pair brings cultural depth, visual warmth, and timeless craftsmanship to contemporary interiors.
