Chair · England
Side Chair
Maker unknown · England · ca. 1700
This chair is typical of the luxurious caned chairs that were being imported from England in the late seventeenth and the early eighteenth centuries. Walnut was a fashionable wood for furniture around 1700. This chair is made of beech that has been stained dark to simulate the look of walnut. The Reverend James Pierpont, one of the founders of Yale College, purportedly owned the chair.
