A beautifully hand-carved Burmese chair, sculpted from a single block of dense tropical hardwood, most likely Burmese padauk (Pterocarpus macrocarpus). Dating from the mid-C20th, this tactile piece combines vernacular craftsmanship with a minimalist sculptural form.

 

The chair features a tall curved backrest rising seamlessly from a gently scooped seat, with expressive tool marks, natural knots, and a deep reddish-brown patina acquired over decades of use. The design is organic and functional, characteristic of traditional Burmese domestic furniture rather than export or colonial work.
