Museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. Author: Ralph Morton.Side Chair 1815-20 Attributed to John Finlay This brilliantly conceived and handsomely executed chair derives its broad, deeply curved crest tablet from the ancient Greek klismos form, and its turned front legs from Roman prototypes. During the James Madison administration (1809-17), the architect Benjamin Latrobe designed a suite of painted furniture for the White House in the latest Grecian style. Although the suite was destroyed in a fire in 1814, drawings for it bearing Latrobes instructions to the Baltimore fancy chair makers John and Hugh Finlay still exist and provide the basis for this chair's attribution. Originally part of a larger set, this chair was once used by Arunah S. Abell, founder of the "Baltimore Sun," in his country house "Wood bourne." The Metropolitan owns four chairs (65.167.5, .6, .8, .9) from the set. Others are in the collections of the High Museum, Atlanta; the Baltimore Museum of Art; and the Munson Williams Proctor Institute, Utica, New York..

In 1832 the painter Filippo Pelagio Palagi was appointed director of the Academy of Design in Turin, Italy, by Carlo Alberto, King of Sardinia, who also commissioned Palagi to redecorate a royal residence, Palazzo Racconigi. Palagi was responsible for the interior design, including the walls, ceilings, mantels and doorways, and also for the palace furniture, including a suite of six side chairs, four armchairs, and two sofas. The Art Instituteís side chair comes from this set.Palagi used late-Neoclassical motifs in original ways on this furniture. The crest of the chair rail is adorned with three-dimensional carving of palmettes and lotuses, inspired by natural forms but arranged in such a way as to give an almost military rigor to the design. The inlaid friezes below repeat the palmette motif and also incorporate sinuous vines and tendrils.

Stamped by Louis Delanois (1731-1792), a Parisian menuisier who specialized in seat furniture in the late Rococo and neoclassical taste, this chair is in a transitional style and reflects the transition between the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. The cabriole legs and curving arm supports, which are not yet placed directly above the legs but are set back, are still expressions of the Rococo. The laurel garlands and husk motifs on the seat rail, at the knees, and on the back rail show influence of neoclassicism. At least one other chair of this model is known which may have been part of the same set of seat furniture. This armchair was part of the model collection of woodwork, paneling and seat furniture of Maison Leys, a successful decorating Side Chair 1800-1810 Hugh Finlay. Side Chair. American. 1800-1810.
