Chair

2. A superb interpretation of a Regency sabre leg chair made in Angola in the 19th century. c. 1850.

African artists have historically responded to fresh design ideas. More often incorporating traditional cultural elements, this chair is unusual in being a near, true copy. A small sign of the African carvers’ compulsion for inventiveness can be seen in the top rail where they have incorporated an asymmetrical zigzag, something a European craftsman would never have done.

Ex Alain Guisson collection.

89cm x 44cm.
