Vintage Chinese Wedding Chairs
Vintage Chinese wedding chairs with lion heads and paws. These chairs feature a hand carved lion motif, jade green marble seat bottoms with raw silk cushions. Each chair measures approx. 31" D, 33" H, 29.1/2" W. Our consignor believes they are 70+ years old. Traditionally, the bride in a Chinese wedding sat cross legged in these chairs, as her feet were not allowed to touch the ground. To do so would risk bad luck. Chairs like these would have belonged to those of wealth in Chinese society.Â
