Description

19th Century Ebonised Chinoiserie Chair with Canework Seat, Mother-of-Pearl Inlay and Parcel Gilt Decoration

A decorative piece only! A beautifully detailed 19th century ebonised chair in the Chinoiserie style, richly adorned with parcel gilt details and mother-of-pearl inlay. The frame is finished in a lustrous black lacquer, complemented by a woven canework seat. An elegant and visually striking piece, ideal for use as a decorative accent.

Dimensions (approximate)

Height: 82 cm (32¼")

Width: 37.5 cm (14½")

Depth: 45.75 cm (18")

Seat height: 40.5 cm (16")

Condition

For decorative use only. The chair has undergone several old repairs which are not structurally sound enough for practical seating. Cosmetically, however, it remains highly appealing, retaining its original finish, delicate gilt highlights, and fine mother-of-pearl decoration.

As with all antique furniture, minor signs of age and use are to be expected and contribute to the charm and character of the piece.

FAQs

Chinoiserie is a European interpretation and imitation of Chinese and East Asian artistic traditions, highly popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, characterised by motifs such as landscapes, figures, and pagodas rendered in lacquer, paint, or inlay.

These pieces typically feature a hardwood frame finished with a black ebonised coating to resemble ebony, hand-woven cane seating for flexibility and breathability, and often incorporate hand-painted parcel gilt details alongside shell inlay.

Authentic 19th-century canework displays irregular weaving patterns from hand-craftsmanship and natural ageing or wear on the underside, while genuine ebonisation involves staining or painting close-grained hardwoods with subtle patination rather than modern synthetic gloss.

Such a distinctive piece works effectively as an occasional accent in a minimalist or contemporary room, providing a focal point when placed against a neutral wall or paired with a simple modern desk or dressing table.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the delicate gilt or ebonised finish, and maintain moderate indoor humidity levels to prevent the woven cane seat from drying out and snapping.
