Description: Exceptionally rare c. 1890 Dutch colonial-era tobacco plantation chair from Java, Indonesia. This attractive and unusual hand-carved chair is a unique artifact from the harsh world of tobacco plantation life, and is in very good condition. This diminutive, all-original chair was used by Javanese tobacco harvesters. It features an inclined back and retains its original platform, with an opening for a rectangular post that held a device workers used to twist and roll the tobacco leaves in preparation for the market. The chair is smaller than a "normal" chair, measuring 20.75 inches tall, 9.0 inches wide, and 12.0 inches deep. The platform is 20.0 inches long. Few of these chairs have survived. A gentleman who lived in Java for many years told me this is the first tobacco plantation chair he has seen outside of Java. This amazing chair is guaranteed 100%. Please see my 1600+, 25-year, all positive eBay feedback.
