A set of four solid rock maple ladderback dining chairs by Tell City Chair Company, produced circa 1970 in the Early American Colonial style. Crafted from dense rock maple, these chairs reflect the durability and restrained design Tell City became known for during the mid-20th century revival of traditional American forms.
The classic ladderback silhouette is paired with hand-woven rush seats, offering both comfort and visual texture. Well-proportioned and substantial without feeling heavy, these chairs work equally well around a farmhouse table, in an English country interior, or mixed into a collected, traditional dining setting.
JUNE'S THOUGHTS
Tell City was deeply proud of its furniture-making tradition, and it shows in pieces like these. There’s an honesty to their construction—no excess, just well-made chairs designed to be used for generations. The town even maintains the Tell City Furniture Museum today, a reminder of how central this craft was to the community. These feel like chairs that have already lived a good life and are ready to continue that story in your home.

The rush seats are in very good condition throughout. Three chairs show light surface wear to the finish on the finials and top rail, consistent with decades of normal use—primarily from hands resting along the back rail over time. The final photograph shows the chair with the most visible wear. Overall, the set presents as gently used and well cared for, with wear appropriate to age and use. less
