Northern Official's Hat Chair- possibly the most representative of Traditional Ming Furniture. Also known as the chair of China. It resembles the hat Chinese Civil officials wore then hence this name was adopted by Chinese scholars and furniture makers. During the Mind period, these chairs were produced in Suzhou, which was reputed to be the centre of production for the finest and best quality.
