Sheraton's Satinwood Side chair

Rendered in khaya wood and dressed in satinwood veneer, this side chair carries the refined geometry of Sheraton's neoclassical vocabulary with quiet authority — the tapered uprights and considered proportions speaking to an era when cabinetmaking was itself an art form. At forty inches, the chair commands a dining room without overwhelming it, its silhouette as legible from across the room as it is exquisite upon close inspection. Theodore Alexander presents it as a study in disciplined elegance, the kind of piece that anchors a table setting and elevates every chair placed beside it.
