A classic Chinese horseshoe-back armchair, crafted from solid rosewood and inspired by Ming Dynasty design. The elegant horseshoe-shaped backrest, sculpted arms, and hand-carved "shou" (longevity) medallion on the back splat showcase traditional Chinese craftsmanship. The rich, reddish-brown hue of the rosewood, combined with its fine grain and polished finish, enhances the chair’s timeless aesthetic.
