A LARGE 'HUALIMU' BAMBOO-STYLE CONTINUOUS-BACK ARMCHAIR 20TH CENTURY |

The chair is in good overall condition. There is some splitting, particularly along the seat frame and to one of the lower stretches. There is some shrinkage and wear to the surface which is quite dry, perhaps from sun exposure. The chair is not even on its feet due to wear or perhaps movement of the wood. There is wear overall consistent with type. Please note that this lot will require a CITES permit for export outside of the United States.
