Huanghuali yokeback armchairs of this type are characterised by the protruding ends of their top rails, which lend the chairs a commanding presence. Known as guanmaoyi ('official's hat-shaped chairs') after their resemblance to the winged hat of Ming officials, these chairs have retained a connotation of status and authority associated with the highest echelons of Chinese society.
Compare a closely related pair with similar S-shaped features, curvilinear apron and cloud-shaped spandrels but an undecorated back splat illustrated in Grace Wu Bruce, The Best of The Best: The MQJ Collection of Ming Furniture, vol. 1, Beijing, 2017, pp. 240-245; and another chair with a high-relief ruyi design on the backsplat, sold in these rooms, 6th April 2016, lot 108.
此類黃花梨官帽椅搭腦外展，平添軒昂氣度，因形似明朝官帽長翅乃得其名。官帽椅寓示顯赫身份，與中國古代權貴生活息息相關。
可比較一對，其流線形態、券口牙子、如意牙頭皆與此對頗似，然靠背板素淨無紋，載錄於伍嘉恩，《木趣居：家具中的嘉具》，卷1，北京，2017年，頁240-245；另比一件，靠背板雕如意頭形花紋，售於香港蘇富比2016年4月6日，編號108。
