Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair by an unknown artist features a dark-colored wooden chair. The chair has a tall back with a curved top and four vertical slats. Two small knobs are visible at the top of the outer back posts. The chair's seat is cushioned and covered in a dark-colored fabric with a floral pattern. The chair's four legs curve outward slightly and are connected by stretchers, the two front ones being straight and the two back ones being twisted. The chair's front and back legs are connected by two sets of stretchers.
