A wainscot chair is a type of chair which was common in early 17th-18th century England and colonial America, the name derives from the fine grade of oak which was used at the time for wainscot panelling. This type of armchair acted as a throne, supporting the status of an important individual, such as the Lord of the manor, the chairman or another type of dignitoary. Most people sat on stools or benches at this time, the carved crest frames the head like a crown, and the placement of the hands on the armrests gives the sitter a pose of status & formal power.
