This pair of tallback chairs is a beautiful example of traditional Qing-dynasty forms. Known as official's hat armchairs, these chairs are named for the protruding ends of their top rails and arms, which bear resemblance to the hats worn by Ming-dynasty officials. Their sculptural form is considered to be the grandest of all Chinese chairs. This pair features gently sloping spandrels and a caned top woven by hand in a refined and ancient technique. There has been restoration to the original finish, but the pair retains the lustrous color of the elmwood construction.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
