FAQs

Folding armchairs, historically known in China as Jiaoyi, originated as portable seating for noblemen and military commanders during travel or hunting expeditions. By the late Ming and Qing dynasties, these chairs evolved into prestigious status symbols displayed in high-ranking domestic interiors.

These chairs are typically constructed from dense native hardwoods such as zitan, huali, or elm, joined without nails using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery. The folding mechanism relies on an X-frame pivot, often adorned with relief carvings depicting dragons, flora, or geometric lattice work.

Authentic 19th-century pieces feature hand-carved joinery marks, natural patination around contact areas, and asymmetrical hand tool marks on backboards or undersides. The carvings usually feature traditional symbolic iconography such as dragons, clouds, or longevity characters executed with depth and hand-chiselled precision.

Position a pair of carved folding armchairs as statement accent seating on either side of a contemporary console table or within a quiet reading corner. Their sculptural X-frame silhouette and rich wood tones provide textural contrast against neutral walls and minimalist architecture.

Maintain antique hardwood by keeping it away from direct sunlight, radiators, and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent wood split or joint shrinkage. Dust detailed carvings regularly using a soft, dry bristle brush, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to protect the original finish.
