Vintage African hand carved folding seats

A beautifully handcrafted African wooden chair that is 80cm -1m tall with African animals and traditional patterns carved into the wood on the backrest of the chair. This chair is carved out of African local wood. These chairs traditionally were not carved with intricate designs but more with plain flat backrests. Modern carvers add designs of African scenery and various animals and people carved into the wood.

These chairs are carved from a few different Southern Africa counties such as Zambia,Zimbabwe, Malawi and South Africa. Our chairs have been carved by Zulu carvers from the Hluhluwe region in KwaZulu Natal.

This rather unique piece of African furniture is comfortable to sit on and is a truly African way to bring Africa to your home.

Each African hand carved chair is an "original" work of art, individually hand carved, no two are exactly alike which adds to the value of each piece. The original nature of tribal art will be reflected by variances from the wooden chair as shown, each piece of a specific style is similar, but not identical.
