An exceptional example of authentic mid-century American craftsmanship, this beautiful Hagerty Colonial birdcage Windsor bench dates to 1958 and bears the original maker’s stamp and signature, with an inscription. The piece showcases the distinctive “birdcage” design with vertical spindles connected by horizontal stretchers, creating the cage-like appearance that gives this style its name.
Crafted from solid hardwood with a warm honey-toned finish that has developed a beautiful patina over the decades. The bench features gracefully curved arms, a contoured solid wood seat for comfort, and sturdy tapered legs with stretcher base construction typical of quality Windsor furniture, using mortise and tenon joints. The proportions are beautiful.
The underside reveals the Hagerty Colonial circular maker’s mark along with an inscription by the craftsman, making this a documented piece of American furniture history. The inscription reads "by Warren Ackerson for Ann and Peter, 1958" The bench design was inspired by, and modified from the antique birdcage Windsor chair belonging to the Harrison Gray Otis House in Boston.
This lovely piece is perfect for:
• Entryways and foyers
• Dining rooms
• Living room accent seating
• Farmhouse and colonial interiors
• Traditional and transitional decor
• Collectors of American furniture
This is a rare opportunity to own a signed and marked piece from Hagerty’s respected Cohasset line, perfect for vintage and antique collectors and those who appreciate authentic American craftsmanship.
