Pair of Side Chairs

Cleveland Museum of Art

Pair of Side Chairs by an unknown artist. Two wooden chairs with curved backs and ornate carvings. The chairs have high, curved backrests with carved flowers and leaves at the top. The backrests are shaped like a vase with curved sides. A woven fabric or rattan material covers the seat. The legs are curved and have carved decorations at the top and bottom. The bottom of each leg is shaped like an animal's paw. The chairs are made of dark wood and have a glossy finish. They are identical, suggesting they are a pair. The background is gray.
