Arm Chair c. 18th century

This 18th-century armchair, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a fine example of the craftsmanship of the period. Its elegant, curved arms and cabriole legs, upholstered in rich green leather, suggest a comfortable and stately chair intended for a well-appointed home. The chair's ornate detailing and high-quality materials would have been a mark of wealth and status during the 18th century, making it a valuable acquisition for any collector of decorative arts.
