Chair

Herter Brothers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The chair by Herter Brothers has a dark brown wood frame with curved legs that end in small feet. The chair back has a rounded top with curved finials. The seat and backrest are upholstered in a light brown fabric with a subtle pattern. The fabric appears to be slightly worn and frayed around the edges. A metal stretcher bar connects the front and back legs under the seat. The background is a plain gray color.
