Why are dining chairs with arms called carvers?

Accepted Answer

No one knows for sure why some dining chairs with arms are called carvers. However, it likely relates to the historical use of these chairs.

Traditionally, the carver chair went at the head of the table, and often the family member responsible for carving the primary entrée sat at this place. As a result, the chair's purpose for seating the carver of the meal is one potential explanation for the nickname. Another is that the name comes from John Carver, the governor of the Plymouth Colony. Reportedly, Carver owned one of these chairs, and people began referring to them by his name as a result.
