Lot 719
A fine pair of Chinese 'Official's Hat' yoke back arm chairs, probably 18th century, from Shanxi province, constructed from Yumu (northern elm) wood, the bold swept yoke top rails over broad curved splat backs, the original rattan seats within moulded seat rails and shaped outswept arms on twin swept supports, raised on turned legs with low front foot rail and twin side stretchers, 43½in. (110.5cm.) high, 27¼in. (69cm.) wide. (2).* Condition: We believe that these chairs may have originally been painted or lacquered and both have some evidence of repolishing. Rush seats appear to be original and are in good condition overall. Both have some warping and rippling to the surface - this has caused one to pull away slightly from the elm edge moulding at one corner. The elm seat edge moulding has some small chips and a few old shrinkage cracks. One arm on one chair is slightly loose and has an old shrinkage crack just above the joint with the support. The same chair has a small piece off and reglued at the joint of the top rail and left upright. The other chair has an old wax fill to the top of one arm support, a small ink stain to the front seat rail and some old wax fill to the very edge of the seat edge moulding to one corner. No other repairs, cracks or significant damage noted.
