Here we have a pair of extraordinary ones in remarkable condition, with fabulous, all original, painted seats depicting plum blossoms and orchids.

Pierced carvings of longevity symbols and Ruyi carry out wishes for perpetual happiness and continuous good health. Demure, elegant seats stay true to its purpose. Rare.
