Armchair c. 1810 - 1830

This anonymous armchair, created between 1810 and 1830, is a fine example of early American furniture. The chair's simple, elegant lines and sturdy construction are characteristic of the Federal style, which drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman design. The use of woven cane for the seat and back adds a touch of both comfort and visual interest. The chair is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, a testament to its lasting artistic value.
