New England, Possibly Woodstock, Vermont, circa 1840
Legs are set chairwise1, examples known by John N. White
Maple and poplar


Antique, Windsor Tablet-Top Settee, Painted Bench New England, Possibly Woodstock, Vermont, circa 1840 Legs are set chairwise1, examples known by John N. White Maple and poplar, entire view 1

The rectangular profile tablet crest is set on 13 spindles flanked by larger posts, back of
arms where joined to post are relieved conforming to post. The back spindles, pairs of
spindles and posts under scrolled arm [sweep up to meet tablet] pierce the slab seat
which is flat on three sides…the front is rounded and chamfered. The tapering legs are
socketed within the plank and joined by double turned stretchers. The settee retains its
original mustard yellow paint and dark brown trim, good patina, and full coverage paint.
The leg placement is uncommon in the 19th century; inspired by 18th century settees.
A settee with similar leg positioning assigned to new England is shown on page 205,
plate 223 of Charles Santore’s The Windsor Style in America, Volumes I and II.

1. See Nancy Goyne Evans, American Windsor Furniture Specialized Forms,
page 130, figure I-95.
Excellent original condition, only 5 feet long; height: 33"; seat height: 18.5"; depth: 14.5".
