Manasa Antique Naga Chair:
A rare antique Naga tribal chair, handcrafted from a single solid piece of wood approximately 90 years ago. The chair has a beautifully organic, sculptural form with a tall curved back, broad seat, and substantial hand-shaped legs. Its rich dark patina, natural grain, surface variations, and visible signs of age give it the authentic character of a well-used vintage tribal object.
Naga chairs from Northeast India are known for their distinctive primitive construction and are traditionally associated with the woodworking traditions of the Naga peoples. Examples documented by antique dealers and design galleries are carved from a single block or piece of indigenous hardwood, with no conventional assembled construction. Similar Naga chairs are now collected as both functional furniture and sculptural objects for eclectic, wabi-sabi, rustic, and contemporary interiors.
At 17 × 14 × 32 inches, this chair works beautifully as a statement accent chair, reading chair, bedroom chair, hallway seat, or standalone sculptural piece. The relatively compact footprint makes it particularly suitable for designers looking for an authentic antique object with strong visual presence.
