More than a statement armchair- it’s a piece of art. The intricately hand beaded Yoruba armchair has its roots in 19th century Western Africa, and were originally made as ceremonial thrones for the Yoruba kings and queens, and their royal ascendants. For only the privileged were permitted to sit on one of these precious creations. Now made commercially, each armchair takes almost 3 months to conceive, with over hundred thousand small beads embellished. A perfect hire for fashion stills, or as key item in an interior design setting; the hand beaded Yoruba chair is a stunning piece for multiple rental occasions.
