Joined armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Joined armchair by an unknown artist features a wooden chair with a tall backrest and armrests. The chair has a dark brown wood finish and a rectangular back panel with a decorative top. Two heart shapes are cut out of the top. The chair's seat and backrest are flat, with the backrest being slightly taller than the seat. The armrests are curved and attached to the sides of the chair. The legs are turned and tapered, with a stretcher between them. The chair appears to be made of solid wood, possibly oak or walnut, and has a traditional design. The background of the image is plain white, suggesting that it may be a product photo or a museum exhibit.
