Golden beaded armchair - nigeria

Yoruba ceremonial beaded chairs are traditional pieces of furniture used during celebrations and rituals in Yoruba culture. The making of a Nigerian beaded chair is an extremely meticulous and laborious task that can take several hundred hours. On average, a craftsman may spend between 200 and 300 hours, or even more, to create a single chair. This depends on the complexity of the patterns, the density of the beads used, and the level of detail required. Each bead is threaded and sewn by hand, which requires great patience, precision, and considerable expertise. An exceptional piece of work entirely handmade.
