The shape and system are comparable, and the general gap is reflected in the material and process. The first pair of chairs is light yellow in color, the wood is delicate, the oil is full, the wood grain is soft and stretched, and the feeling is calm and quiet.
The lower right corner of the backrest of the two chairs each has a basically complete mountain pattern, and the X pattern transitions upwards into a circle pattern, and the left and right woods are separated. The beautiful and symmetrical ornamental surface adds a lot to the pairs of furniture.
The plain plate seat seat is covered with teeth, and the front door type is carved with curly grass patterns, and the two sides are flanked by the light element of the wadding belly.
