Purchase with funds from the
Decorative Arts Endowment, 1988.225
Distinguished by the repeated, elongated S-shape
in the curves of the fron legs, the vase form
of the
center splat (ther vertical wooden piece in the
center
of the back), and the seat itself, this is a
superb example
of eighteenth-century American furniture.
The delicately
carved shell and foliage and the subtle curves
visible form
any angle add to the interest of the design.
