The horseshoe-back armchair is one of four types of Chinese chairs, and is one of the most popular forms within Chinese furniture. The form is distinguished by a gracefully curving crestrail that terminates in dramatic out-swept hooks. For a discussion of this chair shape, see R. H. Ellsworth, Chinese Furniture: Hardwood Examples of the Ming and Early Ch'ing Dynasty, New York, 1971, pp. 86-87, and Wang Shixiang, Connoisseurship of Chinese Furniture: Ming and Early Qing Dynasties, Hong Kong, 1990, pp. 43-45.

A pair of huanghuali horseshoe-back armchairs, similarly decorated with a ruyi-head medallion on the backsplat, and formerly of the Walter P. Rundle collection, New York, was sold at Christie’s New York, 24-25 March 2022, lot 1992.‌
