A Regency solid rosewood child's correction / deportment chair with carved mount to the back rest, and caned seat on ring-turned outsplayed legs.
A charming chair, the turned front stretchers are beautifully worn from years of use.
Correction or deportment chairs are also known as Astley Cooper Chairs (Sir Astley Paston Cooper 1768-1841). Sir Astley, a surgeon and anatomist, designed these chairs in order to correct faulty posture in children.
