Solomon Fussell (Attributed) Black walnut and spruce; H. 41 1/4 in. (104.8 cm), W. 21 1/4 in. (54.0 cm), D. 21 in. (53.5 cm) Levy, Inc. (New York, N.Y.) Philadelphia Museum of Art, promised gift of Robert L. McNeil, Jr. (Philadelphia, Pa.) 
This chair is one of few objects with a history of Franklin ownership that has a "paper trail" to support the attribution. Franklin was billed by chairmaker Solomon Fussell for "three best crookt feet chairs" and for mending one "Crooked foot Chair," both in 1748.
