Produced during the 19th century by the Hitchcock Chair Company of Connecticut, these chairs represent one of America's earliest and most celebrated furniture traditions. Hitchcock's distinctive combination of ebonized finishes, gilt stencil decoration, and practical craftsmanship helped define American vernacular furniture and remains highly recognizable today.
This substantial set is increasingly difficult to find, offering ten matching examples that retain the qualities collectors and designers alike appreciate. Each chair features beautifully turned front legs, a shaped crest rail, decorative pierced splat, and original handwoven rush seat. Variations in finish, wear, and rush coloration reflect decades of honest use and contribute to the authenticity and character that only time can create.
Structurally sturdy and ready for everyday use, these chairs have developed a rich, naturally aged patina that speaks to their history while remaining equally relevant in today's interiors.
