A Bamileke carved wood throne chair decorated with the NDOP ethnic textile. Made in Bamileke (wester Cameroon) the throne chair was used by tribal chiefs or honored figures (Mkem) while presiding over official and religious services. The figures in the chair represent tribal ancestors, whose remembered wisdom is meant to direct those sitting on the throne. Here is an exceptional rarely seen Bamileke wooden armchair/throne from Cameroon, with the astounding, well-renowned, always-striking traditional openwork pattern. Hand-carved by Bamileke craftsmen from a continuous single tree trunk of the African hardwood known as kola wood, this superb armchair/throne is a prime example of rustic sophistication. It has a Gong sign (a traditional object of Bamileke people) and the arms are well sculpted lions which symbolize power and respect. This is the perfect addition to any contemporary living space, be it a high profile office or an estate that is looking to demonstrate a feeling of elegance and class. It will make a great tribal accent in a sophisticated, eclectic interior. A fabulous authentic collector's piece of living art, it is guaranteed to make a fine addition to any collection of African art. These thrones/chairs are now found in modern homes and spaces across the world. It is truly amazing to behold a piece of craftsmanship that's light and airy, considering the original massive chunk of wood used, and all carved by hand! Of course each piece is unique and no two can ever be the same and will depend on the individual log that was chosen for carving.
