ROCKING CHAIRS IN FURNITURE STORES

LADDERBACK CHAIR IN FURNITURE STORES

 

This traditional wooden chair dates back to the Middle Ages and quickly became a luxury item when furniture designers began crafting them in walnut. The ladderback chair, also known as a slat-back chair, is distinguished by horizontal spindles resembling rungs on a ladder.

 

CHESTERFIELD CHAIR IN FURNITURE STORES

 

The Chesterfield style is said to have evolved after the fourth Earl of Chesterfield commissioned a similar style sofa in the 1700s. It is comfortable, tailored, and undeniably sexy. The chair, which was introduced after the sofa, shares the same distinguishing features as the sofa: rolled arms, button tufting, and nailhead trim.

 

GHOST CHAIR IN FURNITURE STORES
