Description

Wooden child's Folding chair with woven seat and back. The chair has a carved and turned maple frame with ring-turned decorative knobs on the top and an arched crestrail. The sides have pinned bent maple elbow rests and the seat is supported by a hinged X-frame base. The stretchers at front and back are ring- and vase-turned. The seat and back of the chair are both tapestry woven wool with a red floral spray at the center and a darkened cream-colored floral wreath around it. Both fabric sections have a plain brown textured ground and are pinned into the frame with brass furniture tacks. This chair was used by Edith Wurm during Sunday School at the First Unitarian Church in Burlington, Vermont.
