Dragon and Lion Foo dog throne armchair. A really rare an expertly hand carved piece, the detail is never ending and of the highest standard, there are many variations of these chairs, they were being made up until the 1950s but by that time they were much simpler without the level of detail that this chair has, this is one of the very early ones from around 1900.
