Catalogue Note
An example of the New York Chippendale style, this chair can be related to other New York armchairs and side chairs with similar backsplats and cabriole legs over ball and claw feet. The Los Angeles Museum of Art (50.28.11) and the Collection of the U.S. Department of State (1968.0071.001) both have armchairs with identical backsplats. The gadrooned front rail and the acanthus-carved knees and crestrail on this chair are found in many other New York examples, such as a tassel-back New York example at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (32.107).
