Armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark brown wooden chair, titled "Armchair". The chair has a backrest and armrests. The backrest is taller than it is wide, with two vertical posts on either side, each with a decorative spindle shape at the top and bottom. There are nine horizontal spindles across the backrest, three rows of three. The armrests have three horizontal bars on each side, with a decorative spindle at each end. The seat and back are missing. The chair has four legs, each ending in a small foot. The background is white with a subtle shadow.
