Armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a chair titled "Armchair" by artist Duncan Phyfe. Ornate armchair with a curved back and armrests. The chair has a high back with a curved top rail. The seat and backrest appear to be upholstered in a light-colored fabric or leather. The frame of the chair is made of a dark-colored wood, possibly ebony, and is decorated with intricate inlays of mother-of-pearl and other materials. The inlays form a variety of patterns, including floral motifs. The legs of the chair are tapered and have a decorative shape, with the back two legs ending in casters. The armrests are curved and have a rounded end. The chair sits on a plain background. The overall style of the chair is neoclassical.
