GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Wendy and Emery Reves acquired several exceptional examples of European furniture, although they did not focus their collecting in this area. Those pieces they did acquire were obtained in various locales such as this pair of Yorkshire side chairs purchased by Emery Reves from Stair and Company Ltd. in London, England in 1969. Yorkshire chairs, typically made from oak, are derived from panel or wainscot chairs and are characterized for having a basic box form, gothic influence in carving, and turned front legs and stretchers.

NOTES
The object file 1985.R.579 contains two black and white photos of the side chair in an unknown location
An original invoice for 1985.R.579 and 1985.R.580 from 1969 can be found in the object file for 1985.R.579. This invoice also disputes the label copy for these chairs which indicates that they were originally owned and installed at La Pausa by Coco Chanel.
