{"product_id":"chinese-childrens-chairs","title":"Antique Chinese Children's Chairs","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eA pair of children's chairs from northern China, made from hardwood — presumably elm (Yumu) — and modelled on the form of the traditional Official's Hat Chair, scaled down with care rather than abbreviation. The characteristic yoke-back profile is fully present, as is the carved circular medallion set into each back splat. The seats are constructed with an inserted panel within a frame-and-filling structure, and the joints throughout are traditional slot-and-peg connections secured with wooden dowels — no nails, no adhesive. An ink inscription in Chinese characters (Huizi) is written on the underside of each chair, likely an ownership or workshop mark. The wood has aged to a deep, reddish-brown tone with an uneven surface that records years of use without apology. Sold as a pair.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"of matter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53669376426311,"sku":"OM-0015","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/3363\/5911\/files\/ChineseChildren_sChairs_LateQingDynasty_Pair_de93e124-361e-49d0-b7bf-1723f08406b0.jpg?v=1775656617","url":"https:\/\/ofmatter.co\/products\/chinese-childrens-chairs","provider":"of matter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
