New England
The carved pillow-crest on flat arms terminating with robust out-scrolled handholds having notched returns are raised on ring turned tapered (stiles) posts centering vasiform splats set in bold molded shoes. The deep skirt -profile conceals a close stool.
The frontal cabriole legs feature interior “C”-scrolls, returns and relief carved molding conforming to upper profile; rear legs are bottle/vasiform and reel form. The chair retains nearly 100% of first brown paint displaying a good patina.
We note that we have a second chair identical to this example other than a slight height difference. One chair is a tad taller, otherwise they display the same shop traditions and were likely made from the same templates.
