Turned Armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Turned Armchair by an unknown artist. The chair has two posts at the top of the back, each with a rounded knob at the top. There are two vertical posts on each side, with horizontal bars connecting them to form the armrests. The back of the chair has multiple thin vertical slats. The chair's seat appears to be made of wicker or another woven material. The chair is sitting on a flat surface. A small white ruler-like object is placed on the floor to the left of the chair. The background is a plain wall. The image is in black and white.
