This example, however, retains a more restrained and delicate surface treatment — the thin lacquer allowing the natural grain and texture of the elm to subtly emerge beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carved splat, shaped apron, and openwork details reflect classical Ming-inspired proportions, while the worn lacquer and exposed wood speak to generations of use. The lighter lacquer application suggests either a regional variation or an early decorative layer, supporting a dating of the late 18th to early 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The piece will be lightly touched up and conditioned by our restoration team prior to delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flea Market","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41049739919432,"sku":"ORIENTAL_0086","price":143000.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6267\/0920\/files\/IMG_1561.jpg?v=1773114453","url":"https:\/\/surroundliving.com\/en-af\/products\/chinese-scholar-s-armchair-set-of-2","provider":"Surround Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
