His original designs, often featuring ebonized finishes with elaborate floral and fruit motifs, became highly sought after and are considered iconic examples of American folk art furniture. The company's signature "Hitchcock" mark, stamped on the back or underside, is a key identifier for collectors.

While the original Hitchcock factory closed in 1845, the company was revived in the mid-20th century, continuing the tradition of producing high-quality, stenciled "fancy chairs". These later productions, while not as rare as the original 19th-century pieces, are still collectible and valued for their craftsmanship and adherence to the original aesthetic. The chairs in the image, with their black finish and detailed stenciling, are representative of this later production period.

These "Inn" Chairs have a Green and Gold floral Harvest motif and stenciling on the crest rail, chair back, and seat. Perfect accent chairs for your cottagecore or farmhouse aesthetic. See less
