For sitting around a coffee table at tea time, or meditating by your window, this pretty low chair, inlaid with mother-of-pearl motifs using the marquetry technique, is extremely comfortable. It can be folded into a large square after removing the metal safety catch that prevents the metal backrest from folding away unexpectedly.This “chowki” or “pidha” chair was given as a wedding gift to contribute to the newlyweds' trousseau. They were also used at the court of the maharajahs to seat their notables. They are found in many countries of the Orient, from India to Iran and Afghanistan (two countries Retour De Voyage dreams of visiting). This “chowki” is a piece of fine craftsmanship that naturally finds its place in the Retour De Voyage collection.
