Windsor Bow Back – Brace Back – Side Chairs, Matched Set of Six
New York City
Date/Period: 1775-1785


Windsor Bow Back – Brace Back – Side Chairs, Matched Set of Six

Measurement: Height: 37.25"; seat height: 18”; width: 16"; depth: 18.5"

Material: Ash, maple, poplar

Condition: A rarely encountered set of six displaying old black paint over original
surface history. All chairs are sound and should be used every day. A very early nail
is found in the terminus of a single bow – toed to seat, only the rosehead is evident;
a wedged dowel standing proud pierces a single leg above seat likely an early
working-life or possible original method of tightening joint. One spindle was cracked
and is glued, the joint is without compromise. As is typical, there are a couple
shrinkage fissures to bows where pierced by spindle [of two chairs] caused by
shrinkage-pressure – bow verses spindle. Chairs are without compromise, honest are
beautiful, ready for daily use. We are happy to share professionally taken detailed
photographs of any trivial imperfection resultant of age and use.

Additional Information: Black painted braced bow-back side chairs; double incised bows,
9 tapered spindles and braced backs…shaped saddle seat on splayed bulbous vase-and-
ring-turned legs joined by stretchers. One seat displays a minor difference to a
trained eye however, we are confident that all chairs were made in the “same shop” at
the same time…really is moot but must be mentioned.

Windsor Bow-back Side Chair, High-back Having Straight Sides
Possibly Worcester County, Massachusetts
Date/Period: 1790-1800


Windsor Bow-back Side Chair, High-back Having Straight Sides Possibly Worcester County, Massachusetts, entire view

Measurement: Height: 38"; seat height: 16.5"; width: 14.5"; depth: 15.5"

Material: Maple, white pin, and ash

Condition: Very good, the left proper rear leg displays a fine splice just under the seat
at wafer turning however the entire leg appears to be by the same turner and displays
the same turnings and tool marks as other legs. It is very possible that the maker
installed a dowel to strengthen tight fissures in that section of leg. The chair retains what
appears to be original green paint now darkly oxidized; paint on seat likely refreshed
early in its life with gold trim added at that time.

Additional Information: The narrow high-back with flattened top continues to the seat
without curving inward. The shield shaped seat is chamfered and sockets the legs. Ring
and vase turned legs are joined by tapering stretchers. This curious form may be related
to a set of six attributed to Solomon Sibley of Auburn, Massachusetts (Collection of Old
Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge, Mass.) The Sibley chairs featuring narrow backs with
almost no curve. At this time, we can make no solid attribution.
