The great rarity of this chair lies in the original wool Turkey-work that covers its seat and back. “Turkeywork” refers to a type of woven fabric with a knotted-and-cut wool pile that was made in England in imitation of Turkish carpets. Used for chairs, cushions, and table coverings, the fabric was exported in matching sets for chairs. Decorative fringe once covered the row of nails around the seat and back. Simple chair frames of this sort were also commonly upholstered in leather or plain wool fabric.
Provenance
Dr. Irving Whitall Lyon, Hartford, Connecticut, by 1891; his son, Dr. Irving P. Lyon, Buffalo, New York, by 1923; Mrs. J. Insley Blair, Tuxedo Park, New York, 1923-died 1951.

March coordinated by Occupy Wall Street, NYC, 9/24/11, on the 8th day of the occupation at Liberty Plaza. The peaceful march worked it's way north from Liberty and Broadway mostly against traffic, where it ended at 12th and University / 5th Ave, with arrests and police brutality. Occupy Wall Street is a peaceful demonstration against international corporate greed at the expense of 99% of the world's human population.
