peacock chair

Fan-backed rattan seat

A peacock chair is a wicker chair with a high, fan-shaped back that spreads out behind the sitter like a peacock's tail feathers.

The dramatic silhouette became iconic in 1970s bohemian décor and photography, often appearing in portraits where subjects sit enthroned: She posed in a peacock chair for her album cover.
