Chair 1770 - 1780

This intricately carved mahogany chair, crafted by English architect and furniture designer James Wyatt between 1770-1780, exemplifies the refined elegance of the Neoclassical style. The chair's elegant, curved back, adorned with delicate floral motifs and a central rosette, showcases Wyatt's mastery of form and detail. The slender, fluted legs further accentuate the chair's graceful lines. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this "Chair" is a testament to the enduring appeal of Neoclassical design, a period marked by a renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman art and architecture.
