Cane Backed Porter Chair-walnut

A porter chair was a type of chair used in medieval England and later France Since there were often cold breezes near a front door, the chair was designed to envelop and keep the servant relatively warm in his task of remaining at the door for long periods. It is best described as a hollowed-out egg shaped very high and enclosed back, standing on end, four legs, with hand rests and usually with a notch for a lantern at the side, allowing the person to sink back into it out of the wind and await visitors; knocks.
