Chair 1870

Christopher Dresser's "Chair" (1870) is a striking example of the Arts and Crafts movement, showcasing the designer's fascination with intricate ornamentation and craftsmanship. The chair's cast iron frame features a striking, circular motif on the back panel, depicting a nude figure within an ornate design. The use of cast iron was popular during the Victorian era, and Dresser's adaptation reflects the era's shift towards more functional and decorative designs.
