Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The metal chair has a Gothic-inspired design. The chair back is tall with a pointed top and a quatrefoil at the center. Two curved shapes on either side of the chair back extend to the seat. A quatrefoil is also present near the bottom of the chair back. The chair's seat is flat, wide, and octagonal. Four legs extend down from the seat, with two on either side tapering in towards the bottom. The chair's surface is weathered to a dark gray color. The background is light gray. The image presents a clear view of the chair. The overall composition suggests an old item. Chair by Artist unknown.
