Collectible Postage Stamps

This is a complete pane of 20 stamps as pictured.Issued in 2004 as part of the Postal Service's American Design series, the stamp features a stylized treatment of a Chippendale chair made in Philadelphia between 1760 and 1765. Made of mahogany, the Chippendale chair depicted on the stamp features artist Lou Nolan's stylized treatment of a Chippendale side chair, or chair without arms. The artist based his design on a chair that is part of the collection of decorative arts in the Diplomatic Reception Rooms at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., while the colors Nolan used for the wood and seat cover give the stamp design a contemporary feel.
