Note: Displaying a distinctly sculptural quality, chairs such as the present example are illustrated in European travellers’ accounts of their visits to Central Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ngombe chairs represented a traditional African style that left its mark on Pierre Legrain, the French bookbinder and furniture designer, as he integrated African artistic elements into the evolution of French Art Deco design in the 1920s.
