YOUTH'S CHAIR
Circa 1820
An outstanding example of the chair maker and decorators craft
These low chairs are recorded in early inventories and sales records as "half chairs" and sometimes "miss chairs" and are thought to have been used by young girls as sewing chairs.
This superior example with robustly turned four-part bamboo turned thumb-back stiles mortised into the rectangular tablet above three tapered and incised spindles above the nicely shaped and incised plank seat retains its exciting fancy decoration. The seat is raised on tapered and incised legs joined by box stretcher. The hand-painted decoration against a field of brown paint is bold and dramatic; top rail with leafy decoration centering a yellow tulip...stiles and legs embellished with yellow bellflower flourishes while the seat is sponged in black against a blue ground with the conforming incised gutter being trimmed in yellow. This chair remains in fine original condition. (Height: 33.5 inches; seat height: 17.5 inches; width: 15.5 inches; depth: 15 inches.)

Child's Bow-Back Windsor Highchair
Rhode Island
Circa 1795-1800
The double incised bow with full rounded arch receives seven tapered spindles and the sawed rectangular-scrolled incised arms that are supported by the three section bamboo turned posts. The shaped saddle seat is raised on tall bamboo turned legs with tapered feet and is joined by turned H-plan stretcher. The surface is possibly original; green paint now highly oxidized and nearly black. Typical of these highchairs, this chair may have experienced a tumble early in is functional period. The chair was mended for continued use by subsequent generations. When one examines the chair at arms length, the "in-use" mends are not immediately evident.
The very tight kerfed and pinned splice in the bow, just above the proper left arm appears to be ancient; the entire bow shares a consistent dark surface and rich patina. The proper left arm terminus at bow has a slightly different shape and is a tad lower than the other arm. There is a small lamination at edge of seat that is pinned; note the shrinkage as evidenced by protruding pins; note consistency of color. It is possible that the bow was mended by retrofitting beneath the arm; pinning, shaping and scratch molding it. It is also possible that the bow was made that way; in two pieces. We are comfortable that the chair was mended while in use and that the narrow seat spice may be original...nonetheless, the chair remains a terrific object of integrity, character and personality.
Height: 35 inches; Seat Height: 21.75 inches: Width: 11 inches; Depth: 11 inches.
