Seat Height:50cm;
Overall height : 117.5cm;
- Headrest : The shape is beautifully curved, with a pillow-shaped middle and upturned ends. The lines are smooth and natural, which not only has a decorative function, but also provides a comfortable place for the user's head to lean.
- Backrest : Made from a single plank, plain and unadorned, showcasing the natural grain and texture of the wood. It features a three-curve design with a significant degree of curvature, especially at the bottom where there are many arched protrusions. This design provides excellent support for the user's lower back during use, and the fact that it is made from only large pieces of wood reflects the meticulous selection of materials.
- The armrests, connecting rods, and gooseneck are all designed with graceful three-curve shapes, echoing the overall style and making the chair's lines more harmonious and unified, full of rhythmic beauty.
- Leg structure : The upper part of the rear leg is inserted into the top rail with a mortise and tenon joint and passes through the seat to become the leg; the three-curved armrest is also joined to the upper part of the rear leg with a mortise and tenon joint, and connects to the front leg's neck in the front, passes through the seat to become the front leg. The middle is supported by a three-curved round rod that is thinner at the top and larger at the bottom. The structure is stable and ingenious.
- Chair seat : The frame is made of mortise and tenon joints with exposed tenons at the ends, and supported by two straps at the bottom. The inner edges of the four frames of the chair seat are grouted to create a soft seat. A plain apron is installed below the seat. A footrest is installed between the front legs. Square ridge stretchers are installed on the left, right and back sides, all with exposed tenons. A plain apron is installed under the footrest and the stretchers on both sides.
The four-cornered official's hat chair has a beautifully curved backrest that forms a pillow shape in the center. The two ends curve upwards with considerable strength. The three-curved backrest is a single piece of wood. The two ends are embedded below the crest rail and the rear edge of the seat, with a significant three-curve design that would require large pieces of wood to craft, especially the lower part with its numerous arches, which provide support against the user's lower back for comfort. The armrests, connecting rods, and gooseneck are all crafted with graceful three-curve shapes, echoing the overall design. The mortise and tenon joint on the back leg is inserted into the top rail and passes through the seat to become the leg.
It is adorned with a magnolia ribbon inlaid with various precious materials, symbolizing wealth and nobility. The flowers and birds are brightly colored and the craftsmanship is exquisite, making it a delight to behold.
The upper section of the rear legs, armrests, and connecting rods also feature triple curves, showcasing not only luxurious materials but also consistency with the overall graceful design. The seat is fitted with a hard drawer using mortise and tenon joints, with the edges tapering from top to bottom, creating rich details. The front features a cusped apron with delicate raised lines along the edges and a pointed center, striking and refreshing; the sides have recessed aprons. The four legs are octagonal, with stepped stretchers between them. The front footrest stretcher and the stretchers on both sides are reinforced with aprons, demonstrating meticulous mortise and tenon joints.
The three-curved armrests are also joined to the upper part of the rear legs with mortise and tenon joints, connecting to the gooseneck of the front legs at the front, passing through the seat to form the front leg feet, and supported in the middle by a three-curved round piece of wood that is thinner at the top and wider at the bottom. The seat has a frame with mortise and tenon joints at the corners, and is supported by two straps at the bottom. The inner edges of the four frames of the seat are edged and grouted to create a soft seat, with a plain arched apron below the seat. A footrest stretcher is placed between the front legs, and square footrests with outward ridge lines are placed on the left, right and back sides, all with through tenons. A plain apron is placed under the footrest and each of the side stretchers. The overall lines are elegant, the workmanship is delicate, the lines are simple, and it has a strong literati feel.
This chair, named for its resemblance to the hat of an ancient official, has an overhanging backrest and armrests, hence the name "Four-Overhang Official Hat Chair." Because it was popular in northern China, it is also known as the "Northern Official Hat Chair."
An expert once pointed out that chairs with square legs at the back are generally of high quality, and this is indeed true. This is Ming-style furniture.
