Кресло "Шапка чиновника"

Ming-Style High-Back Southern Official’s Hat Chair, Made of Golden Phoebe Old Wood with Full Water Ripple Grain This is a classic Ming-style high-back Southern Official’s Hat Chair, an iconic form of traditional Chinese Ming furniture. Its rounded crest rail does not extend outward. The tall backrest and smoothly curved S-shaped armrests create clean, elegant lines, embodying the Ming aesthetic of simple beauty without excessive carving.

Crafted from aged Golden Phoebe (Phoebe zhennan), the whole chair is covered in vivid water ripple grain. The wood fibers twisted and compressed during tree growth, forming rippling wave patterns. When light shifts across the surface, golden luster flows along the grain — a phenomenon known as “shifting shadow”. Parts of the timber also display tiger-skin satin grain, a rare premium texture highly valued by collectors.

The “Official’s Hat Chair” gets its name from its silhouette resembling an ancient Chinese official’s hat, symbolizing dignity and refinement. This piece perfectly combines the natural beauty of rare timber with the structural aesthetics of classical Chinese woodwork, an exquisite treasure of traditional furniture craft。The entire piece adopts mortise and tenon construction, without nails or glue.
