No other furniture form is more prevalent than the chair. And no other country has created more diverse styles of seating furniture than America, thanks to Chippendale, Sheraton, Phyfe and others. From the gracious rococo style of 18th century Philadelphia, to the functional “common” or ladderback chairs of the rural Arkansas chairmaker, this country’s chairs, benches and sofas have a rich and varied legacy.
