#35 Cane chair

Examining No. 35 .... we see that the top of the back of the chair is ornamented with a carved and pierced cresting which does not extend to the side lines of the chair, but is between the two finials....

The "stiles", that is, the two upright posts on the sides of the back ... are in a turned "spiral" form; so also are the back legs and two of the stretchers, partly. The lower stretcher is "recessed", that is, set back from the front, and connects the side stretchers instead of connecting the front legs.

About 1660-1680.
