This chair was made as part of a dining room set for the Robert R. Blacker House in Pasadena, California, one of the most comprehensive commissions completed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1907. The firm not only designed the large, Japanese-style house, but all of the inlaid furniture and other decorative accessories, including stained glass and lighting fixtures.
