Side chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two side chairs. Two dark brown wooden chairs with curved backs and legs are shown. The back of each chair has a decorative design at the top, with two curved sides that come together to form a narrow center post. The seats are round and upholstered with a patterned fabric. The chairs are positioned side by side, facing forward. A third chair's edge appears on the right edge. The background is a plain wall and floor.
