Windsor Side Chairs, Original Painted Decoration, Tablet Top
Pair of Side Chairs with Patriotic Ornamentation
Pennsylvania
Circa 1830 to 1840
Maple, poplar
A fine example of a classic early nineteenth century Pennsylvania plank seat, half-spindle-back side chairs; unusual ornamental treatment is especially noteworthy. American painted furniture with patriotic painted decoration is rare. As depicted, a spread-wing American eagle and crossed flags embellish the crest rail. Additional ornamentation includes a floral motif with leafy vine on leg fronts and backswept posts; undulating black trim and line-striping and stylized devices on stretcher. The incised turnings are trimmed in black. Another example within our inventory is published within Deborah Harding's, Stars and Stripes, Patriotic Motifs in American Folk Art, (New York: Rizzoli, 2002), p. 94. Also, see American Windsor Chairs by Nancy Goyne Evans, pp. 215 and 216. These chairs remain in a fine state of originality; as expected, some paint thinning on seats. (H: 32"; seat H: 17.25"; W: 15.25"; D: 19".)
