This miniature silver chair, one of a set of four, was crafted by English silversmith George Manjoy in 1690-91. The chair, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, is a testament to the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the period. The ornate design, featuring pineapple finials and a latticework back, exemplifies the Baroque style popular during this time. The chair's diminutive size, measuring just 3 3/8 inches tall, suggests it may have been a decorative object or a plaything for children. This exquisite example of 17th-century English silversmithing offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the era.
