On offer is an authentic 19th-century Ashanti Asipim chair from Ghana, traditionally used by Ashanti chiefs as a symbol of status and authority. This ashanti asipim chief’s chair ghana features the classic Asipim form, inspired by 17th–18th century English Farthingale chairs and adapted into a distinctive royal seat within Ashanti culture.

The chair is constructed in hardwood and decorated with rows of brass studs, along with turned brass finials on the back rails. The three pierced geometric struts follow the traditional Asipim design. It retains its original stretched hide seat—an important indicator of age and authenticity.

Condition remains very good for a 19th-century ceremonial chair. There are a few missing brass studs and the hide seat has lifted slightly at the back, but the structure is strong, and the surface has developed a deep, rich patina from long use.

A rare and culturally significant piece of African furniture, representing the standing and authority of Ashanti chiefs.
