The continuous sweeping arms terminate in squared front supports, while the legs are joined by curved side stretchers and double rear stretchers for additional stability. Its restrained institutional design and sturdy construction would have been well suited to use by attorneys, jurors, court officials, or members of the public.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA heavily faded paper manufacturer's label remains attached beneath the seat, but its printed information is no longer legible.
