This unusual chair shares many attributes found in American furniture, most notably from Philadelphia. The side chair has a yoke shaped scrolling crest with carved rosettes above a vasiform splat flanked by conforming stiles with a compass seat frame supported by cabriole front legs with carved and scrolled knees ending on slipper feet.
