First issued in 2004 and again in 2007, this four-cent definitive stamp features a stylized treatment of a Chippendale chair made in Philadelphia between 1760 and 1765.
The Chippendale chair depicted on the stamp is a side chair, or chair without arms. The intricately patterned back features spiral ornaments called scrolls as well as carvings of a tassel and a shell. Another shell decorates the front of the seat. This exquisite chair has graceful cabriole, or curved, legs. The colors used for the wood and seat cover give the stamp design a contemporary feel.
