Settee 1771 - 1772

"Settee" is a piece of furniture from the late 18th century created by Joseph Walter, an English cabinetmaker. It exemplifies the elegance of the Chippendale style, particularly in its intricate latticework back and curved arms. The piece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the craftsmanship of the period, with its mahogany construction and upholstered seat, designed for both comfort and visual appeal. This piece is a great example of a Settee, Chippendale, and English Furniture.
