Antique Chinese export armchair features exquisite mother-of-pearl inlay set into a rich black lacquered wood frame. The yoke-back splat and arms are decorated with flowing floral vines, birds, and butterflies, all rendered in shimmering shell that reflects light beautifully. The chair has a classic Chinese export form with gently curved arms and cabriole legs, offering both visual grace and comfortable support. Additional inlay detailing accents the apron and legs, highlighting the quality of craftsmanship throughout. The upholstered seat is later and covered in a patterned textile in soft pink, green, and neutral tones that complement the dark lacquer and iridescent inlay.
