The dining chairs descended … more This is a set of four 19th century New England windsor dining chairs of uncommon design.

The dining chairs descended from a New England family who purchased the chairs in 1816 from a Worcester, Massachusetts, based cabinetmaker. The heirloom chairs were passed down through successive generations to a great great granddaughter from whose estate these chairs were acquired.

These windsor chairs can broadly be classified as birdcage style because of their bamboo turned legs and double bow backs with a row of short spokes above a row of longer spindles. However, the chairs are very unusual in both shape and decoration, which suggests that they might have been either a special order or an experimental work by the maker.

Each chair has a square back with an exaggerated backward bend. The back stiles are rounded at the base and flatten toward the top, where they support a crest of laterally curved double bows. Between the double bows is a row of spokes mounted with three shaped medallions (a shield flanked by two ovals). The lower bow is pierced with horizontal lozenges at the sides and surmounted by a row of seven rounded tapered spindles.

The saddle seat was shaped from a solid plank of Eastern white pine and accented with an incised line around the seat perimeter. The wide-splayed bamboo turned legs are supported with rounded stretchers arranged in a box style, which at the time was an unusual departure from the H-plan stretcher.

The chairs retain their original paint: a dark green ground with outlines with delicate yellow pinstriping. The crest is paint decorated with floral and fruit motifs and single rose buds painted on the shaped medallions. The paint decoration has a raised texture, which suggests the use of lacquer in a manner similar to Japanning, which was popular in New England at the time.

The 19th century chairs are in very good antique condition. The chairs are sturdy and can be used right away. The painted finish is original with some paint and wood loss on the backs and the seats. Remarkably well preserved for their age and absolutely unique.

Each chair measures 33.5" tall, 18.25" wide, and 20" deep with a seat height of 17.25 inches. less
