Armchair 1770 - 1775

Thomas Chippendale, a renowned English furniture designer, created this "Armchair" sometime between 1770 and 1775. Chippendale was known for his elegant and intricate designs, which often incorporated elements of Rococo and Neoclassical styles, as seen in this chair’s curved back and delicate carving. This armchair is a prime example of Chippendale's mastery of form and function. The chair is on display at The Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of the 18th-century furniture design era.
