Side Chair

Henry Ingle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Side Chair by Henry Ingle shows a chair with a four-sided frame. The chair back is tall and flat with straight sides, a curved top and empty rectangular spaces on either side of a central ornate element. The central element is vase-shaped with a floral design and scrollwork at the top. The chair seat is upholstered with dark fabric bordered by small metal studs. The chair has four straight legs with cross braces. The entire chair appears to be made of wood with a light-colored finish. The chair is angled slightly, with the back to the left and the seat facing forward and to the right.
