From my visual analysis from the previous post, I find that this chair could have been made for someone who could sit back and recline because there is a back rest. The two armrests suggest the chair was made to rest. It’s height suggests it might have been paired with a desk.

After some reading I found out that before the arrival of the Europeans to India, people traditionally sat on the ground level.

The Portuguese found that there was no local infrastructure for the production of the furniture they were used to. They, and later also the Dutch, British and French, filled this need by commissioning Western style furniture from native carpenters.

Interestingly enough, from my visual analysis, I have found similar traits that my dining room chairs at home, share with this rosewood chair.
