    From grandmother's house in northern Maryland. Referred to as a candle chair.

    Is this hole in the arm for a candle or peg lamp? What is the correct name of such a chair?

    The chair measures 37 1/2" high x 30" deep x 25" wide. The seat cushion measures 19 1/2" deep x 20" wide. The seat back cushion measures 4" high x 18 1/2" wide. Don't know the upholstered material. Legs rest on small metal casters.

    Any information is welcomed.
