This wonderful Porter's chair was my first piece of "grown up" furniture. It was given to me by my mother as I approached the end of my adolescence. It is "grown up" in that it is elegant, stately, refined and a lot of style that is timeless and unique. Its special meaning to me is when I sit in that chair I feel warm protected, cozy, and loved … like in my mother's embrace. As the chair accompanies me through adulthood, (I took it to college with me) no matter what happens beyond the good to the bad and ugly, I can collect my thoughts in my Porter's chair, which restores my spirit and empowers me to slay the next dragon.
