EASY CHAIR

Easy chair. Culture: American. Dimensions: 49 1/4 x 33 x 37 in. (125.1 x 83.8 x 94 cm). Date: 1715-30.
This is an example of the earliest known type of American easy chair--a new form to emerge in Boston during the William and Mary period. It features a tall back and double scroll arms on a turned base. Easy chairs were expensive because of the costly textiles required for their upholstery and were therefore prestigious to own. With its padded back, wings, and arms and feather-filled seat cushion, the easy chair introduced a new level of seating comfort.
