Beautiful 19th Century High Backed Ethiopian Chair

Jimma Culture. ON HOLD

Fine Large High-Backed Throne/Chair. Jimma, Oromo Region. Ethiopia

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