How to choose high-quality round-backed armchairs?

1, look at the shape: first look at the shape of the chair ring. Whether the upper body shape of the round-backed chair is beautiful or not is almost determined by the shape of the chair ring. A top-class round-backed chair, its armrest is like a bow, which is relaxed and pleasing to the eye. The armrest of the round-backed armchair consists of two taiji lines, with the S at the end slightly thinner and the back slightly thicker. The overall shape and thickness of the handrail make people feel the softness of Tai Chi. Secondly, look at the shape of the backboard. The backrest of the traditional round-backed chair is made into a trapezoid, with a small top and a large bottom. And the size gap between the upper and lower sides of the trapezoid is also very particular. Generally, the gap between the upper and lower sides is between 1.7-2. 1 cm, which makes the backrest of the round-backed chair look small and large and more stable.

2, look at the proportion: the upper and lower parts of the round-backed armchair should follow a certain proportion. If the upper body is too high, the chair will look top-heavy, and if the lower body is too low, it will look dull. If the height of the lower body is wrong, it is easy to find people sitting on it. Therefore, craftsmen generally don't get the height of the lower body wrong when making round-backed chairs. But the upper body size is more difficult to handle. Generally speaking, the size of the upper body is determined by the gooseneck. According to the size conversion, the gooseneck of the traditional round-backed chair is about 22.5cm.

3, look at splicing: traditional mahogany furniture adopts tenon-mortise structure, and round-backed chairs are no exception. The chair ring of the round-backed chair is connected by three pins, and the connection technology of the pins on the chair ring is also an important factor to judge the quality of the round-backed chair. There may be a big gap in the dovetail joint of the rough round-backed chair, and the workers will make up it with sawdust afterwards, but this will leave an obvious black line, which is easy to see. A well-made tenon will not have this problem. In addition, the wedge nail at the splicing of traditional round-backed chairs should be square, because it can maintain the stability of the connection, and straight wedge nails are also useful, but the effect will be relatively poor.
