Side chairs with fully upholstered backs were unusual in colonial America, though popular among the elite in Great Britain and on the Continent during the 18th century. This chair, part of a larger set, has construction details that indicate it could have been used for holding a chamber pot frame and would therefore have been used in a bedchamber.
