About this asset

This traditional Ming-style armchair, modelled in Blender, features a distinctive high-back silhouette with an elegant curved crest. This armchair exemplifies classic Ming-style furniture design, characterised by its tall, slender proportions and clean, structural lines. The piece features a prominent, gracefully curved yoke-style crest rail that extends outward beyond the vertical back posts. A central splat incorporates subtle, intricate relief carving near the top, providing a focal point against the dark, rich-toned wood grain. The frame is supported by sturdy, straight legs connected by traditional stretchers, while the armrests are delicately shaped with a gentle downward curve, offering a balance between robust construction and refined, minimalist aesthetics.
