The chair Lincoln sat in when he was shot

[ca. 1865]

From "War Memories" catalog: This easy chair was placed in the private box in Ford's Theater, Washington, specially for the use of President Lincoln, who, after the wearisome toil of the day liked to rest himself and for the time forget the cares of State by watching the play at the theater. It was while sitting in this chair on the evening of April 14, 1865, that the cowardly assassin sneaked into the private box and creeping up behind the noble Lincoln, fired the fatal shot.
