Armchair

anonymous, c. 1795

This armchair was made in China after a model that was popular in England at the end of the 18th century. The Chinese furniture-maker probably relied on a print as his source of inspiration. It was commissioned by Van Braam Houckgeest, whose initials are on the back of the chair.
