Maharaja Sidechair

Manik Bagh, or the Temple of Rubies was the palace belonging to the young Maharasau or Indure. Two hundred works from his palace were auctioned by Sotheby's Monaco in 1980. The Maharaja chair is adopted from one of these pieces designed by a thoroughly modern Ruhlmann for an office in the palace. It depicts three legs and a curved upholstered back.
