Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair, created by artist Duncan Phyfe, features a dark brown wooden frame with a high back. The chair's legs are curved and end in a paw-like shape; the seat is upholstered with green and white fabric featuring a leaf pattern. The chair's backrest showcases carved floral and scrollwork designs. The chair's sides and front feature a decorative rope-like molding underneath the seat. Four legs support the chair; the two back legs are straight and slender, while the front legs are curved. The background of the image is gray.
