This chair in the English Queen Anne style, made of local birch with cabriole-legs, a high backrest and semi-soft cushioning comes from the collection of the Tallinn Brotherhood of Blackheads. The back of the baluster-shaped backrest has been painted with the crest of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads – the head of St. Mauritius wearing a red and white headband – and the text “Eltesten P. Duborg 1753” below it. The front board and cover of the seat have been renewed, the connecting brace has broken off.
