Mid-century Modern African Style Beaded Chairs
African royal chairs were made for the Yoruba royal family. They are all hand-beaded from top to bottom and back to front. The Yoruba people live in South-western Nigeria, and other parts of West Africa. Constructing of of these chairs can take anywhere from 12 to 14 weeks due to the fact that these beads are so tiny and the process painstakingly slow. Originally, only the Yoruba Royal family were allowed to be seated in these hand-beaded chairs.
