This armchair
exhibits elaborate decoration enriched with
auspicious blessings (orchids, peonies, plum
blossoms, chrysanthemums, vases, ruyi-shaped
cloud-heads and bamboo!)
The crestrail
terminals and hanging spandrels are carved
as flourishing ruyi and luxuriant foliage –
symbolic in their respective wish-fulfilling
capacity, with the promise of abundance and
prosperity. The framed backrests feature
panels with peonies and chrysanthemums –
omens of good fortune and longevity.
