Chair from the Law Office of Lincoln and Herndon
This is an original caned chair from the law office of Lincoln and Herndon in Springfield, Illinois. One young law student who studied in the office remembered the furniture as dilapidated, consisting of a desk, table, sofa, and a half-dozen plain wooden chairs. The strength or durability of furniture is said to have interested Lincoln more than its appearance.
