Armchair 1750 - 1760

This intricately carved armchair, designed by Thomas Chippendale in the mid-18th century, exemplifies the Rococo style prevalent in English furniture during the period. The chair is crafted from mahogany wood and showcases elaborate ornamentation, with cabriole legs ending in claw-and-ball feet. The backrest is adorned with a tapestry depicting a religious scene, further enhancing the chair’s elegance and decorative appeal. This iconic piece of furniture, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Chippendale's mastery of design and craftsmanship.
