Chinese Base with Triple Lotus Motif (Medium)

A caramel club chair with nailhead swags and ball feet, ready for a long novel.

This medium base with triple lotus motif is from China. Lotus petals and blossoms are among the most repeated motifs in Chinese carving, and they are generally associated with purity and spiritual awakening. Small armchair in worn tan covering, with a rounded back studded in scrolling bright nailheads, rolled arms, and a loose seat cushion. More studs trim the front skirt, and two turned round feet are visible. It is 1.63 inches high and 3 in diameter.

Broken in beautifully before anyone sat down.
