這件作品充分展現了製作者的用心與工藝之美，從材料選擇到細部雕刻，無處不經過精心琢磨。此椅以貴重的黑檀木（烏木）製作，木料厚重且結構放大，雙面雕刻精美的花紋，讓椅子具備傳世的耐久性。為了讓觀眾更深入了解未上漆前的木材原貌，透視木材質地紋理的自然之美，並展示工匠追求完美、無瑕的手藝和專注精神，這件椅子被列為示範性的展品。
此椅被稱為「客廳椅」，具有現代居家功能，椅面高度較低，座面寬敞，靠背傾斜度大，扶手高度降低，符合人體工學設計，提供了類似沙發的舒適坐姿。必要時可以加上輔助軟墊來增強舒適性，搭配的茶几也隨之降低了高度。
結構上，此椅與傳統扶手椅有所不同。靠背與扶手使用卡子花和直札榫栽牢於坐屜，但整體的造型風格、束腰結構、鑲嵌螺鈿工藝等，仍遵循傳統家具的製作規範。
椅子的搭腦部分和束腰下方雕刻了葡萄紋，延伸至兩側，增添了動態感。靠背板以實心板製成，鑲嵌蓮花與瓶花螺鈿，成為整張椅子的視覺焦點。椅背框架與扶手飽滿且有力，模仿藤節的造型，椅腳則採用三彎外翻獅爪代馬蹄腿，這是現代大溪太師椅的典型特色。
This piece exemplifies the dedication and craftsmanship of its maker, with every detail meticulously considered, from material selection to intricate carvings. Crafted from precious ebony (blackwood), this chair features dense, substantial wood and finely carved double-sided patterns, giving it an enduring quality. To offer viewers insight into the natural beauty of unpolished wood grain and showcase the craftsman's pursuit of flawless artistry and focus, this chair is presented as a demonstration piece.
Known as the “Living Room Chair,” it serves a modern home function with a lower seat height, wide seating area, reclining backrest, and lowered armrests for ergonomic comfort, providing a sofa-like seating experience. Additional cushions can be used to enhance comfort, with a complementary tea table of matching low height.
Structurally, this chair differs from traditional armchairs. The backrest and armrests are secured to the seat frame with mortise-and-tenon joints, while the overall style, waist structure, and inlaid mother-of-pearl still adhere to traditional furniture standards.
The headrest and lower waist area feature grapevine carvings that extend to the sides, adding a sense of movement. The back panel is solid, with mother-of-pearl inlays of lotus and vase motifs, serving as a focal point. The back frame and armrests are robust, mimicking rattan nodes, and the legs are fashioned with outward-turning lion paw feet, a characteristic feature of modern Daxi-style official's hat chairs.
