Belter made a variety of chairs that appear to have been designed for use in the dining room or library. It is most most common to see these chairs in mahogany or oak rather than rosewood. These chairs all have laminated wood backs, the same as all other Belter chairs. The designs of these chairs are consistent with the designs of Belter parlor furniture in the use of arabesques to frame the perimeter of chair backs, and some of the designs are made up completely of arabesques. While these chairs are often pierced carved, their designs are often much simpler than on pierced carved parlor furniture and they typically have less carved decoration than pierced carved parlor furniture. Dining room and library chairs are constructed in the typical Belter way and you identify them as Belter in the same way a parlor chair would be identified.
