Desk chair (desk chair; attributed to Meunier, Etienne (French menuisier, mid 18th c...; about 1735; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 71.DA.91)

Note: Designed to be used at a desk, this comfortable armchair with its high, wrap-around back forced the sitter to sit with legs apart, straddling the projecting front leg. The small, velvet-lined compartments hidden in the hinged arm pads were a convenient innovation, allowing the owner to store personal items such as spectacles, a snuff box, or even money.
