Chair with carved dragons and faces
« on: November 03, 2009, 05:55:57 pm »

This chair is made of a dark wood. It has three faces and two dragons (with their tails). The men on the top of the chair have leaves and pears coming out of their mouths. The man at the bottom of the chair has wings. (I am guessing he is the North Wind.) The carvings on the front were glued onto the surface. The chair is low to the ground. There is also a crest at the top of the chair.

Can anyone tell me anything more about this chair? What was its purpose? What do the carvings symbolize? What country is it from? What would be its age? What would be the value?

Thank you!
