Do you suppose Morticia has one big chair or a bunch of them?

Her iconic big chair appears in multiple rooms, wherever a scene happens to be taking place. Typically in the living room, but sometimes in the dining hall or out with the plants. Do you suppose Lurch is just constantly moving this furniture around on her whim? Or does she have a whole set of this furniture? I'm inclined to believe it's the one chair, for Gomez's throne looking chair is often paired with it in the same locations.

From IMDB Trivia:

Morticia's favorite chair is a distinctive wicker chair with a wide oval back; this chair was a prop from From Here to Eternity (1953), where Bob Prewitt sits in it at The New Congress Club.

When the show was canceled in 1966, the producers gave Morticia's oval-backed wicker chair to Carolyn Jones as a memento. Jones kept it in her bedroom for the rest of her life.

So there was only one prop chair... but I presume that if the Addams mansion had been real, there would have been several.

If a gal likes wicker peacock chairs, why shouldn't she put them in every room! It's not like they were expensive.
