Chair c. 1735

Giles Grendey's "Chair" (c. 1735), on display at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a quintessential example of the Rococo style. The chair features a red lacquered frame with elaborate gold leaf ornamentation, including a scallop shell motif, which is a signature feature of the Rococo style. The caned seat further emphasizes the delicate and intricate nature of this era. This chair is a testament to Grendey's mastery of craftsmanship and exemplifies the refinement of furniture design during the Rococo period.
