These Period Chairs, described in a report on this page, are interesting examples of period designing. One is a “cock-fighting” chair (1710) in which the user sat “back-to-front.” The other is a late Charles I armchair with carved female figures in contemporary costume. This type of decoration ceased with this reign.
