Slat-back Armchair

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Slat-back Armchair by an unknown artist features a black wooden frame with a distressed finish revealing brown wood underneath. The chair has a high back with four horizontal slats and two vertical posts that extend to form finials at the top. The armrests are also made of black wood with a similar distressed finish. The seat is made of woven fibers, possibly rattan or wicker, and appears to be in a natural color. The chair's legs are connected by stretchers, and the overall design suggests a traditional or antique style. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
