OUTSTANDING
Banister-Back Armchair
Rhode Island
Circa 1730-1760
Maple and ash


The turner-joiner of this chair elevated the stature of the turning vocabulary. The chair is related to a group of chairs known as the "Little Compton, RI" chairs. The turnings are sharp and robust. Urn finials toped with compressed knobs centering the double-arched crest and bottom rails with returns. The three turned and split banisters (Usually four on armchairs) conform to post turning. The serpentine shape carved arms are "let into" the urn turning on the back posts-another Little Compton group similarity. The front posts are neatly turned and are raised on a foot remaining at about full-height. The legs are joined by a massive single front stretcher; single rear and double side stretchers. Traces of old black paint over what appears to be an original red stain; seat may be original. (Height: 46.25 inches; seat height: 17.5 inches; width: 23.5 inches; depth: 15.5 inches)
Price: $6,450
201-185
