Henry Connelly

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The chair has a dark-colored frame with a flat top and curved sides on the back. The backrest features a decorative metal design comprising curved lines and a teardrop-shaped element. The seat is white with a row of small decorative tacks along the front edge, forming a wavy pattern. The chair has four tapered legs with vertical grooves and armrests that curve outward from the seat. The armrests are connected to the backrest and have a smooth, rounded shape. The backrest is higher than the seat. Armchair by Henry Connelly.
