Anglo-Indian Fan Back Armchair in Hand-Carved Teak - Set of 2

This Anglo-Indian fan back chair is a striking example of late 19th to early 20th century colonial craftsmanship, blending sculptural form with refined artisanal detailing. Handcrafted in India from richly stained hardwood, the chair features a dramatic fan-shaped backrest composed of gracefully curved slats that radiate outward, creating a sense of movement and architectural presence. The flared arms flow seamlessly from the back, forming an embracing silhouette that is both elegant and inviting, while the woven cane seat adds texture and warmth to the bold, structural design. Rooted in the Anglo-Indian furniture tradition, this piece reflects the fusion of British colonial design sensibilities with indigenous Indian techniques—an expressive testament to cross-cultural artistry and the enduring legacy of handcrafted furniture.
