A set of four padouk, djati and cane Dutch-colonial Indonesian round-back chairs. Armchairs in the French Rococo taste were popular with the Dutch in Batavia in the second half of the 18th century, perhaps because, like the burgomaster chairs, these chairs allowed European men and women to air their armpits in the hot tropical climate. These round-back chairs in long rows on the open verandas of large colonial houses in Indonesia are often depicted in paintings and later in photos from the colonial era.
