About the Item

A Chinese late Qing Dynasty period red lacquered folding traveller’s chair from the early 20th century, with carved motifs, footrest and woven fabric. This early 20th-century antique Chinese traveler's chair is a striking example of functionality blended with traditional aesthetics. Featuring a rich red lacquer finish, this chair is not only a practical piece but also a vibrant statement. Its slanted back is topped with a lamp-hanger rail, while the central splat, adorned with intricate floral motifs on latticed accents, adds a delicate artistic touch. The chair is constructed with an X-frame design, enabling it to fold easily, making it perfect for both static use and mobility. The woven fabric seat provides comfort, and the scalloped footrest offers additional support, enhancing its utility and appeal. Ideal for eclectic or Asian-themed interiors, this folding traveler’s chair can serve as a unique accent in a living room, study, or entryway. Its compact and versatile design also makes it suitable for small spaces, offering a touch of elegance and a splash of color without sacrificing functionality. This chair is not just furniture; it's a conversation piece that brings a piece of Chinese history and craftsmanship into contemporary homes.
