Chinese bench made of rich, figured Huanghuali wood, known for its deep tones and graceful ghostly grain. The backrest features an openwork design with intricate angular fretwork, flanking a central medallion intricately carved with the shou (longevity) character surrounded by stylized dragons—symbols of power and auspicious life.
The arms and legs are elegantly curved, resting on a recessed stretcher base that enhances the balance and proportion of the piece. The joinery and craftsmanship reflect high-quality traditional Chinese furniture-making techniques.
