拍品資料及來源
官帽椅因其造型近似古代官員制帽而得名。官帽椅可分兩種，椅背立柱和搭腦相接成圓角者，稱南官帽椅；靠背搭腦兩側及扶手前端出頭，稱四出頭官帽椅。
此對官帽椅搭腦長出腿柱，靠背板由上至下三攢框鑲嵌大理石。自然石紋山林疊翠，雲煙縈繞，尤如一幅秀美的山水畫卷。搭腦、扶手平直設計，扶手下的曲線及座面下曲形牙板起了點睛的作用。背板三段攢框打槽裝板，上面如意形及底部拱門形開光內的理石與深沉的木色起了鮮明的對比。

傳世品中相同的例子不少，但背板多為光素，如此對背板攢框鑲嵌者無幾，此裝飾技法在十八世紀甚為流行。可能工藝的繁複，或木、石和漆的收縮度各異，容易損壞，背板攢框嵌理石官帽椅比實木背板官帽椅更為稀少，也可能背板原來的鑲嵌物變形後被後配。這類官帽椅靠背板以鑲板最為普遍，但如此對椅仍有原配理石者，極為珍罕。
