1950s Baker Mahogany Lolling Chair

Description

Hollis Baker always had the best help when it came to design. T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings and Albert Hadley assited him often. So the design of this chair is Chippendale but a departure from the typical clawed foot.
This chair has a Camel back, sheperds crook arms, and padded feet. Every leg is cabriole. The front pair are acanthus carved. They employed a nail head chisel to give added texture to the surface and depth to ones personal impression upon observation. As a footnote brass tacks were used on the cambrick below.
