About this piece

Details that make the object.

A striking example of Mid-Century Modern design with a Brutalist edge, this three-legged chair (often referred to as a prayer, smoking, or cockfighting chair) was crafted by the renowned M. Hayat & Bros. The piece features a T-shaped backrest with a wide, flat top rail designed for leaning against while sitting "astride" or backward. Constructed from solid rosewood with a rich, figured grain, the chair is accented by delicate brass filigree inlays along the backrest splat. Its sculptural, minimalist form and tripod base make it a versatile accent piece, serving equally well as a vanity stool, a unique side chair, or a standalone work of functional art.
