Butaka Chairs

Set of 2 chairs. Butaka is a handcrafted chair with long "arm-rest" which is not used for the arms but for the legs. It is called the "lazy chair" of rich families. During the Spanish era, it was used by hacienderos as their resting chair after a busy day of roaming around their lands and rice fields. Most common butakas have the rounded top. The square top is rare. The torneriyas at the side of the butakas are also exceptional.
