Near Pair of Roundabout Chairs by a Single Maker in Same Shop, Original Surface
New England, Circa 1775-1800
Maple


270-152_main

The carved pillow [cushion]-crests on flat arms terminating with robust out-scrolled
[spurred] handholds having notched returns are raised on ring turned tapered
posts centering solid vasiform splats set in bold molded shoes; square slip-seats over

deep skirt-profile concealing close stool, one chair remains fitted for a pot. The frontal cabriole
legs feature volute scrolled knee returns and relief carved molding conforming to upper profile;
rear legs are bottle/vasiform and reel form. Both chairs retain nearly 100% of first brown paint
displaying a good patina. One chair is a tad taller (full height), otherwise they display the same
shop traditions and were likely made from the same templates. Excellent condition; one chair measures
32.5” at pillow…the other 30 5/8” measured at pillow; chairs are both full height with
seat height being 16.5”.

Provenance:

Ex Collection of Miriam and Arthur Spector;

Points of Furniture, as "Better," page 64.
