Side Chair 1805 - 1815

Duncan Phyfe's "Side Chair" (1805-1815) is an excellent example of American Federal-style furniture. The chair's elegant design, featuring a cross-banded back and slender, reeded legs, embodies the refinement and simplicity of the period. This chair, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases Phyfe's mastery of craftsmanship and his influence on American design.
