[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 411762, member: 2844"]Welcome, Brundel. Wonderful reading chair, are you sure you want to sell it? Thanks for tagging me kyra.:) The style and colour look Indo-Portuguese or Indo-Dutch, in the style of the Portuguese or Dutch colonies in India and Sri Lanka. I agree with James, it is a revival chair, very beautifully made. The design of the central flower (lotus?) even looks Javanese (Indonesian), another part of Asia where both the Portuguese and Dutch used to be. Asian Colonial furniture can incorporate different styles, because craftspeople traveled from one colony to another. Indo-Dutch can also refer to colonial furniture from Indonesia. Generally this ebony or ebonized furniture is from Portuguese and Dutch India and Sri Lanka, and the Dutch-Indonesian style used and combined different woods.[/QUOTE]
