This pair of Lamphanger
chairs has very prominent upturn head
pieces. The back splat is divided into 4
sections. The second section is decorated
with a 4 petal-plum blossom. The rare stiles
curve up to create a contrast with the
curved in back splat. The seat is of
standard mitered frame construction with a
tongue and grooved floating panel. Under the
seat there are two supporting braces. The
aprons are beaded along the edges and cusped
in the middle. The stretchers are in the
Bao-bao gap arrangement as an auspicious
token. The front stretcher is further
supported by simple and undecorated aprons.
