Rising Sun Chair is an American Chippendale armchair made in 1779 by John Folwell for the Assembly Room of the Pennsylvania Statehouse (now Independence Hall). Depicted on the chair is a Liberty pole (with a Phrygian cap) and a relief of half a heraldric sun. George Washington sat in the chair while presiding over the 1787 Constitutional Convention. At the convention's successful conclusion, Benjamin Franklin remarked that he had been unsure about whether the sun atop the chair's crest rail was rising or setting: "But now at length I have the happiness to know it is a rising and not a setting sun."
