Dimensions: Chair Surface Length: 59.8 cm, Width: 46cm, Height: 101.5 cm Antique pair of Chinese Huanghuali horseshoe back round arm chairs, QuanYi. Constructed with sweeping crest rail terminating in out swept hooks above the gracefully curved standing on a curved back splat and elegantly curved rear posts, which continue to form the rear legs. The round frame encloses the S-shaped splat, open-works carved with scalloped ruyi motif, above the rectangular hard seat. The legs are joined by stepped stretchers and a footrest with plain apron and spandrels. The wood displays attractive golden reddish-brown tone, with translucent shimmering surface with abstractly figured patterns appearing like ghost faces and fine grains appearing like wheat pattern motif. LOT NOTES: The Chinese term huanghuali literally means "yellow flowering pear" wood. It is a member of the rosewood family and is botanically classified as Dalbergia odorifera. In premodern times the wood was know as huali or hualu. The finest huanghuali has a translucent shimmering surface with abstractly figured patterns that delight the eye, those appearing like ghost faces were highly prized. The color can range from reddish-brown to golden-yellow. Historical references point to Hainan Island as the main source of huali. However, variations in the color, figure, and density suggest similar species sourced throughout North Vietnam, Guangxi, Indochina and the other isles of the South China Sea.
