Caption text from the source:

Chairs were common in ancient times is evident from a verse in Kahdasas Kiandra-sain-bJiava, where the mountain-king Himalaya is described to have offered such seats to the seven sages, who came with the proposal of marriage of his daughter Uma with Mahadeva. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as the RigVeda, scats or chairs of gold are described as invariable accompaniments of royalty. Thus Apamanyot, the grandson of the waters, in the last-named work, is portrayed as of golden form, of golden aspect, of golden hue, and shining, seated on a seat of gold.

(Missing text)... The existence of wooden furniture, and beds and chairs and tools would be the most probable articles of that description that would produced by such artisans.
