Rear curved legs are typical of English easy chairs and are sometimes found on elaborate Philadelphia and Charleston chairs; however, the vertically rolled arms, distinctive ball-and-claw feet, and use of eastern white pine indicate this chair was made in New England. It is the only known example with rear cabriole legs.
