On offer is a genuine 19th Century Ashanti Asipim Chiefs Chair from Ghana, an important form of ceremonial seating traditionally associated with Ashanti chiefs and nobility. The Ashanti Asipim chair developed from European Farthingale chair designs introduced during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, evolving into a distinctive symbol of rank, authority, and prestige within Ashanti culture.

Constructed in hardwood, this chair features the classic Asipim form with three pierced geometric back struts, rows of brass stud decoration, and turned brass finials. It retains its original stretched hide seat, an important feature that supports its age and authenticity. The chair remains in very good condition with only minor losses to some brass studs and slight lifting to the hide seat at the rear. The rich patina developed through years of use further enhances its character. A rare example of Ashanti royal furniture and a significant piece of African tribal art.
