This pair of antique Chinese armchairs originates from Shanxi province and is crafted in the classic Southern Official’s Hat Chair style, often referred to as a writing chair. Historically associated with scholars, poets, and painters, these chairs were prized for their refined elegance and comfortable design.
Traditionally produced as matching pairs, hat chairs were positioned on either side of a wine or tea table. This arrangement is frequently illustrated in ancestor portraits and Chinese pith paintings, reflecting their role in cultured, scholarly interiors.
