Turned armchair
The unusual construction of this armchair has antecedents in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century British three- and four-legged turned chairs that have a rectangular, raked back rail that overhangs the rear legs. The history of the chair points to an owner in Manhattan or one of the early towns of Kings County (now Brooklyn).
