rising sun chair

During the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia a quote is attributed to Franklin on the meaning of the carved sun in the speaker's chair. Paraphrasing; it goes something like this, ' is it a rising or a setting sun?'

There have been many reproductions made of this chair and I'm looking for these. If there is anyone out there with information I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you.
