Maxine

These slight arms cascade into almost impossibly delicate Queen Anne Revival cabriole legs and tiny slipper feet.   While this is decidedly a revival piece (read produced in the teens or 1920s when everyone wanted a piece of American furniture history), it has all the marks of an excellent original American Queen Anne chair, often considered the absolute height of American furniture craftsmanship.  Maxine, like many pieces of the Queen Anne, appears to as if she may well pitter-patter around the house at night atop her little feet.  She seems to have landed from some ballet leap, poised to spring again.
