In the early 1700s, upholstered easy chairs were the most costly seating furniture available. They were designed with 鈥渨ings鈥� for protection from drafts in poorly heated rooms. The Montgomery chair, created around 1800, is a more delicate version of its predecessor. With a tall, straight, upholstered back, it closely resembles a lady鈥檚 lolling chair of the period but maintains the sweeping arms of the earlier form. The cone-shape vertical arm support is typical of New England. 亚博体育(yabo)官网 Chair artists have adapted the design of Winterthur鈥檚 New England easy chair to create this contemporary form. Spring-Down seat cushion standard.
