Large 19th Century Jimma High-Backed Throne, Ethiopia

£2600

Large 19th Century High-Backed Throne/Chair. Jimma Culture, Oromo Region, Ethiopia

This is an impressive, comparatively large in size, high backed throne from the Jimma region of Southern Ethiopia. The rounded back support of the chair features an attractive cut-out lattice design, and the seat of the chair is supported by three curved legs. The chair/throne is comfortable to sit on, and has a lovely rippled surface on the seat as a result of use over the years.

Ethiopian chairs of this beautiful form and size are difficult to source. High backed chairs such as this fine example were an important symbol of status amongst many cultures in the southern and western regions of Ethiopia throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Estimated Period: Second Half of 19th Century
