Carved furniture that is hand carved is not very common today. The number of wood carvers and artisans has fallen drastically over the last 2 to 3 decades. Since this type of carved wood furniture is quite expensive, a very small market exists. This discourages new craftsmen and artisans from taking up this profession. This heavy carved antique style chair has a fine, mother of pearl inlay work done on the center of the back rest.
