Sometime in the second half of the 20 century there was an impetus to make furniture in the tradition established in the Ming Dynasty, using the finest furniture wood that was available. Huanghuali was a popular choice. When the furniture make ran out of huanghuali, they would use other huali woods. I am not such an expert to tell which parts of the chair were made of huanghuali, mostly from Hainan Island because they were available. The chairs are styled after the bamboo influenced spindle back with arms. The wood grain pattern is beautiful. The chairs are sold as is. Each chair measures 23 inches wide, 17.5 inches deep and 35.5 inches high. The seat height is 18 inches. Chairs Sold AS IS.
