Strapwork-back Chippendale side chair c. 1760 - 1770

This anonymous, 18th-century side chair from the Chippendale period is a fine example of elegant, carved wooden furniture. The "strapwork" design of the back, a popular motif of the time, is complemented by the cabriole legs, ending in claw and ball feet. The use of mahogany wood and the subtle curves of the chair create a sense of refined craftsmanship. This piece would have been part of a dining set, reflecting the high standards of the time.
