Combining British colonial form with the exceptional woodworking traditions of India, this antique Anglo-Indian armchair is a beautifully crafted statement piece. Its most distinctive feature is the hand-woven rattan back, arranged in an intricate radiating sunburst pattern that requires considerable skill to execute. Carved floral and lotus motifs enrich the hardwood frame, while sweeping open arms flow into substantial turned legs terminating in rounded ball feet. A deep chocolate-brown leather seat provides a handsome contrast, finished with rows of aged brass nailheads whose naturally darkened surfaces reveal decades of character. Traditional mortise-and-tenon construction remains visible beneath the chair, along with its original heavy canvas dust cover and hand-hammered upholstery tacks. Natural wear, gentle surface variation, and beautifully aged materials give this chair an authentic sense of history and craftsmanship.
