Command attention with this spectacular antique Chinese-style dragon throne chair, masterfully hand-carved from solid hardwood. Standing approx. 80cm high, this ornate armchair features richly detailed dragons on the arms, a phoenix or qilin-style mythical creature on the backrest, and stylised cloud motifs throughout—each element painstakingly sculpted with incredible craftsmanship.
Likely mid-20th century and inspired by Qing Dynasty motifs, the chair showcases traditional symbolism of power, wisdom, and protection. The deep red-brown lacquered finish highlights the intricate carving and lends it a dramatic, opulent presence—ideal as a statement piece in an entryway, office, or boutique interior.
