Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

In the early 18th century, Dutch furniture was strongly influenced by England, so much so that it is unclear in which of the two countries this chair was made. In any case, this type - with a tall, unupholstered back - came from England and was known here as an ‘English chair’. The curved back was designed to make sitting more comfortable.
