Side Chair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark wood chair with a cushioned seat. The chair has a high back with a curved top and seven vertical spindles. The seat is square and upholstered with a patterned fabric featuring white designs on a dark background. The chair's frame is adorned with decorative carvings along the edges of the seat and backrest. Four tapered legs, slightly thicker at the top and bottom, support the chair. The background is dark, with the chair casting a shadow on a lighter-colored floor. The chair is presented by the artist as a "Side Chair".
