Ming dynasty, 16th/17th century
The wide crest rail tapering to swept-back rounded ends and supported by curved rails of oval section tenoned to the underside of the yoke and running through the seat to become the back legs, and flanking the c-shaped backsplat divided into three floating panel sections with a central well-figured nanmu burlwood panel set between a cut-out fu-character framed by a beaded edge and a u-shaped beaded apron, all flanked by elegantly barbed and cusped flange brackets running the length of the splat and tenoned into the seat frame, the s-shaped arm rests gently flaring to the handgrips and supported by elegant posts carved as a delicate vase holding a stalk of bamboo behind 'goose neck' braces with beaded stretchers, both tenoned in the side frame of the once soft-mat seat reinforced by a hard seat supported by paired bowed transverse stretchers, the front rails tongue-and-grooved to beaded, cusped and barbed aprons, the side stretchers tenoned higher than the back and footrest, with shaped aprons on three sides.
Chair: 45 3/4in (116.2cm) total high;
Seat frame: 19 1/2 x 24 3/4 x 19 1/4in (49.5 x 62.8 x 48.9cm).
