Early 20th C Beaded African Ceremony Chair

Sale price€2.580,00

Early 20th century vibrant red and white hand beaded African ceremony chair.

One of the most fun and decorative items we have ever had in our store, is this beautiful beaded chair. And don't be shy to sit on it, because it is actually quite comfortable.

Originally crafted for Yoruba tribe kings and queens, these chairs boast a meticulous process involving thousands of glass beads meticulously applied to fabric covers. These covers are then expertly stitched onto the chair frame, resulting in an exotic piece adorned with elaborate beading. The intricate beading process alone takes approximately 12 to 14 weeks for a single chair.

While the chair exhibits wear consistent with its age and historical use, including some minor areas where beads are missing (refer to detail images), these imperfections contribute to its natural and authentic appearance. Solid and comfortable, this furniture piece is not just functional but truly an art piece as well.
