Side Chair 1750 - 1755

This 18th-century mahogany side chair, likely made in America, is a fine example of the Chippendale style. The intricate carving of the back splat and the cabriole legs with claw-and-ball feet are characteristic of this popular design trend, which was inspired by the work of English furniture maker Thomas Chippendale. The chair's elegant form and craftsmanship demonstrate the skill of the anonymous maker, showcasing the artistry of American furniture during the Colonial period.
