Cockfight chair

Post by 93Regina »

"This chair is one of the earliest examples of specialized furniture
with functions specific to reading. Designed so a male reader could
sit astride facing the adjustable book ledge, the chair features a
candle holder in one arm and a tray for writing implements in the
other. Curiously, this form also became known as a "cockfight" chair,
and was depicted in illustrations of cockfights."
