Lot Essay

The horseshoe-back armchair is one of four types of Chinese chairs, and is one of the most popular forms within Chinese furniture. The delicate, simple lines and graceful curve of the crestrail are what give the horseshoe-back armchair its elegant appearance. A pair of huanghuali horseshoe-back armchairs, similarly decorated with a ruyi-head medallion on the backsplat, and formerly in the Walter P. Rundle collection, New York, was sold at Christie’s New York, 24-25 March 2022, lot 1992.
