Late Qing Dynasty Nanmu Canvas Folding Lounge Chair

[Introduction]

This lounge chair is simple in shape but ingenious. It is made of tough and delicate nanmu as the frame and covered with plain canvas as the surface. The overall style is calm and simple, with the dual attributes of travel tools and aristocratic leisure furniture.

The chair frame is made up of multiple groups of diagonal bracing structures that are cross-connected and can be folded and folded. The structure is rigorous and easy to carry. It was a common item for traveling, marching, and sightseeing in the late Qing Dynasty. The surface of the nanmu is painted with a dark red lacquer layer, which is slightly mottled under the erosion of the years, reflecting a low-key and calm quaint atmosphere. The top of the backrest is decorated with bamboo or rattan pillow rolls, and the details are also ingenious, fitting the curve of the human body and supporting comfort.

The white canvas surface is clean and natural, forming a sharp contrast with the dark wooden frame, which not only reflects the visual level, but also enhances the lightness and transparency of the whole chair. The armrests are curved and the corners are rounded, which not only provide functional support, but also retain the leisurely attitude of scholars.

This type of folding chair is mostly used for traveling or for cooling off in the courtyard. It is also a reflection of the gradual diversification of social classes and the shift of lifestyles to comfort and practicality in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. Today, it has both historical value and decorative beauty, and is particularly suitable for Southeast Asian style, Wabi-sabi style, and Republic of China style spaces.
