Side Chair 1770 - 1790

This side chair, crafted by Major John Dunlap between 1770 and 1790, is a fine example of American furniture from the late 18th century. The chair's elegant design features a tall, slender back with a carved fan motif and a delicate, openwork splat. The chair's legs are also intricately carved, adding to its overall grace. The chair is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Dunlap, a prominent furniture maker, was known for his high-quality work, and this chair is a testament to his skill and artistry.
