Side Chair

Attributed to John Goddard American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

In this rare instance, the characteristic Newport knee carving, usually found on that city’s finest high chests and tables, was employed on a side chair. The spherical ball feet and fleshy bulges above the rear talons are features associated with the cabinetmaker John Goddard (1724–1785).
