Side Chair 1755 - 1775

This anonymous side chair, crafted between 1755 and 1775, is an excellent example of Chippendale-style furniture. It's a fine specimen of American craftsmanship, showcasing intricate carving on the back and a rich mahogany finish. The chair's cabriole legs, ending in claw feet, are a distinctive feature of this period. This chair, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to the elegant design and skilled woodworking of its time.
