Armchair 1830 - 1835

This mahogany armchair, crafted by renowned American furniture maker Duncan Phyfe between 1830 and 1835, exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of the Federal period. The chair's simple yet refined lines, characterized by its slender, tapered legs and elegant, scrolled arms, reflect the influence of classical design principles. The rich red upholstery and intricate floral patterns add a touch of luxury to the piece, further enhancing its appeal. Currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the armchair is a testament to Phyfe's enduring legacy in the history of American furniture.
