Chair, second half of the 20th century. In solid teak root, hand carved in one piece. The legs are assembled. It shows marks of use and wear. Measurements: 96 x 85 x 75 cm. The robust appearance and the artistic finish of this chair are determined by the skillful carving of the wood in one piece. This gives it an extremely expressive impression, with the open backrest following the irregular growth of the trunks. The legs are assembled but visually integrate perfectly with the sculptural appearance of the whole. It shows signs of wear and tear.
