Great Chair, 1675-1695
01
Artifact Overview
Furniture can signify a person's status within a household. This chair's large proportions and turned arm posts, stiles, top rail, spindles and finials would have outshone others in the room. Only the head of the family and honored guests would have used this "great chair." Other family members would be resigned to smaller and simpler chairs, benches or stools.
