Side chair
Not on view
The squat proportions of the back of this chair and the carved rail skirts are suggestive of English work, but the oval rear legs, side rails with through tenons, and design and carving of the back are in the classic Philadelphia manner. The refined carving that accentuates the integrated design of the crest and splat represents the fullest development of the Gothic splat pattern in Philadelphia. The hairy paw feet are a restoration.
