Maitland-Smith Philadelphia Side Chair
Best luxury seating for collectors of traditional eighteenth century style furniture
This chair brings the ornate, stately charm of Chippendale design into a dining room without feeling like a museum piece. The intricate mahogany carving and cabriole legs offer undeniable traditional elegance, though you sacrifice the relaxed, sink-in comfort of modern lounge seating for a more structured, upright posture.
