Rare piece of furniture in a simple yet elegant design

This Chinese reclining chair dates to the 19th century. The well-shaped frame made of elmwood features of a curved seat made of bamboo blades with a circular head rest, which stands on straight legs on the front and on curved legs on the back. The curvate armrests are supported by a short, decorative baluster finial. It is the combination of round and square elements, which makes this rare piece of furniture particularly attractive. Chairs of this particular form are called moon-gazing chairs and were mainly used for informal conversations among friends.
