Sichutou Beiguanmao Armchair

Inspired by the refined proportions of traditional Chinese Ming-style furniture, the Sichutou Beiguanmao Armchair combines a distinctive high backrest, graceful projecting crest rail and balanced solid wood structure.

The name “Sichutou” refers to the four projecting ends of the chair’s crest rail and armrests. This characteristic silhouette gives the chair an elegant architectural presence while preserving the lightness and restraint associated with classical Chinese furniture.

A Distinctive Official’s Hat Silhouette

The gently curved top rail extends beyond the rear posts on both sides, forming the iconic “four projecting ends” design.

Its high backrest and upright proportions create a dignified silhouette inspired by the shape of traditional official headwear, while the open structure keeps the chair visually light and refined.

Sculpted Curved Crest Rail

The curved crest rail follows a subtle upward arc, creating a graceful visual rhythm across the chair’s upper frame.

Its softly rounded edges and projecting ends highlight the chair’s handcrafted character while providing comfortable support across the shoulders.

Natural Solid Wood Back Panel

The central back panel showcases the natural grain and tonal variation of solid wood.

Its gently shaped profile supports the back while bringing a warm, organic focal point to the chair’s open frame.

Traditional Mortise-and-Tenon Joinery

The chair is constructed using traditional mortise-and-tenon techniques, allowing each structural component to fit securely together.

This time-honoured method provides lasting stability while preserving the clean and refined appearance of the chair without excessive visible metal fittings.

Gracefully Curved Armrests

The armrests extend naturally from the rear posts and curve gently toward the front.

The open supports beneath the arms create an elegant flowing profile while providing comfortable support for everyday sitting.

Stable and Balanced Structure

Horizontal stretchers reinforce the chair legs and enhance overall structural stability.

The balanced proportions, wide seat and high backrest make the chair suitable for extended sitting in tea rooms, dining spaces, studies and reception areas.

Solid Walnut Craftsmanship

Crafted from carefully selected solid wood, each chair displays unique grain patterns, tonal variations and natural character.

Material: North American Black Walnut

The surface is finely sanded and finished to preserve the warm touch and natural appearance of the wood.
