Their tall, sculptural silhouettes are accented by beautifully carved acorn finials and shaped crest rails, while generations of use have imparted a rich, authentic patina that only centuries can create.

These chairs possess the quiet elegance synonymous with early New England craftsmanship. Equally compelling in a traditional English country house or a clean contemporary interior, they make striking accent chairs flanking a fireplace, anchoring an entry beside a console, or adding sculptural presence to a bedroom or library. A rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of early American history that remains both functional and timeless.
