Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair by Dunlap has a black-painted wood frame. The chair has a tall back with straight sides and a decorative center panel. The center panel features a symmetrical design with curved lines on the sides flanking a leaf-like motif on top and narrowing down to a base. The seat is rectangular and upholstered in white fabric with thin light-gray stripes and black trim along the edges. The chair sits on four tapered legs connected by a stretcher bar between the front and back legs. The background is white.
