A single Upper Connecticut Valley side chair in the Hitchcock style, its turtle-back crest rising above a woven rush seat. The oval back splat carries a gilt and bronze powder stencil design showing a pedestal-base bowl of fruit ringed with leaves. Turned front legs taper to small pad feet and join the plain, slightly splayed rear legs by way of a box stretcher with a turned medial rail. The crest terminates in small turned knob finials. Pull it up to a small desk or use it as an everyday side chair. Small area of damage to the rush seat. Circa 1820-30.

Wear is otherwise consistent with age and regular use, heaviest at the front seat rail, where the painted surface has worn through to bare wood along the edges. Gilt striping on the rails and leg tops has faded and rubbed away in the same pattern. The rush seat has visible damage (see photo). less
