Masonic Armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a Masonic Armchair by an unknown artist. The chair has a tall back with vertical slats; there are 2 horizontal slats across the top. The top of the back has a square shape divided into 2 rectangles; one rectangle contains a square and compasses. The chair has a round seat, armrests, and four tapered legs connected with two stretchers. The entire chair appears to be made of wood. The background of the image is white. The photo has a black border. Some white writing appears upside down on the bottom border.
