Dimes is a superb example of fine American craftsmanship in the 18th-century tradition. Constructed from mixed native woods—the seat in solid pine, the legs and stretchers in maple, and the hoop, arms, and crest rail in oak—the combination reflects the methods used by early colonial chairmakers. The sculpted saddle seat and turned undercarriage offer both comfort and visual balance, emphasizing D.R. Dimes’ dedication to historical authenticity and artisanal skill.

The tall comb back design is composed of gracefully tapering spindles rising to a shaped crest rail that lends an air of refinement and proportion. Hand-turned legs with a stretcher base provide sturdy support while preserving a light, elegant profile. The use of contrasting woods, each chosen for its strength and flexibility, showcases the thoughtful attention to both aesthetics and structural integrity that defines the D.R. Dimes workshop.

In nice vintage condition consistent with age and gentle use, this Windsor arm chair retains a warm, hand-rubbed finish that highlights the character of each wood species. A timeless addition to a country dining room, colonial revival interior, or American furniture collection, this piece embodies the enduring beauty of traditional craftsmanship. 46h x 28w x 24d seat height 17 See less
