A symbol of honor for the living room chair

Jan 03, 2021

Furniture from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty largely retains the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, but high-end furniture is more popular than before. The living room chair is very old and simple, although for many centuries, it has been in ordinary use.

In the early dynasty, they used cloth or leather and wood carvings to cover the back and surface of the chair, but the coverage area is much smaller than that of the living room chair in the 21st century, and the surface of the chair is sometimes only 25 cm above the ground. In the ancient Egyptian era, the living room chairs seem to have been greatly enriched. Old-fashioned ebony, ivory carving, gilded wood, etc. will all be used. They are covered with expensive materials, ornate patterns and hunted beasts or carved captive figures. Generally speaking, the higher the status of an individual, the taller and more gorgeous his living room chair, which is a symbol of honor.
