Armchair (One of a Pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black chair with a high back and armrests. The chair has a flat seat and four straight legs. The back of the chair is tall and narrow, with a slight curve at the top. The armrests are curved and attached to the sides of the chair. The chair appears to be made of wood and has a smooth finish. The chair is positioned at an angle, with the front facing slightly to the right. The background is a plain gray wall and a light-colored floor. The chair seems to be one of a pair, likely created by an artist. The style of the chair suggests it may be an example of traditional or antique furniture.
