Armchair 1763 - 1769

This armchair, crafted by Thomas Affleck between 1763 and 1769, is a fine example of 18th-century American furniture design. The chair's elegant lines and intricate carving are characteristic of the Chippendale style, a popular trend in furniture design during the mid-18th century. The yellow upholstery, with its button tufting, adds a touch of sophistication and comfort. This piece is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcasing Affleck's skill as a cabinetmaker and the evolution of furniture styles in colonial America.
