This exceptionally good antique Chinese horseshoe chair dates to the 19^th century and is constructed from elm & blackwood.
The horseshoe chair design originated in the Ming dynasty (1368 -1644) more than 500 years ago. The most iconic and one of the most graceful of Chinese chair designs, yuanyi (meaning round chair) were given the name horseshoe chair by westerners.

The rattan seat has been replaced as so many were damaged in the 20th century. At the same time the legs were repaired. A ruyi symbol can be seen carved into the back.
