This nineteenth-century Burmese or Anglo-Indian side chair is constructed from dark brown padouk wood and stands 89 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 45 cm deep. The tall backrest displays intricate pierced foliage carving, a central circular medallion enclosing a wild boar, and flanking carved scroll elements at the base. Beneath the upholstered seat, the carved wooden apron features elaborate openwork decoration of vines and animals. The front cabriole legs are detailed with carved ram heads at the knees and terminate in eagle feet, while the rear legs remain plain and vertical. A cream-coloured needlepoint tapestry covers the seat, decorated with a central embroidered floral cluster in shades of pink, blue, green, and orange. The solid, sturdy wooden frame retains its original dark patina with minor marks and wear consistent with age, alongside small marks on the fabric. Suitable for use in a bedroom as a dressing table chair or placed at a desk in a study, this piece brings functional seating and ornamental carving to an interior. The dense dark timber construction and deep relief carving throughout the frame reflect the distinctive regional craftsmanship of the period. The openwork backrest allows light to pass through the intricate foliage patterns, while the padded seat provides practical comfort. The combination of animal motifs, floral embroidery, and carved wooden details creates a visually rich silhouette suitable for traditional and eclectic living spaces alike.

FAQs

Burmese padouk furniture from this era is recognised for dense, dark hardwood construction and intricate openwork foliage carving executed by craftsmen for European and export markets.

Artisans utilised dense native hardwoods such as padouk or teak, crafted with mortise and tenon joinery and paired with needlepoint, tapestry, or woven cane upholstery.

Authentic pieces exhibit deep three-dimensional pierced carving depicting local flora and fauna, visible hand-chiselled marks, heavy timber density, and natural surface oxidisation.

Position the chair as a standalone sculptural accent in an entryway, alongside a modern desk, or adjacent to minimalist neutral furnishings to emphasize the pierced woodwork.

Dust regularly using a soft natural-bristle brush to clean recessed carved areas, and sparingly apply clear beeswax polish to protect the timber finish.
