A Mahogany Sheraton/Federal Upholstered Open Armchair, New England, c.1810

This is a provincial example of the lolling chair form and is delicately executed throughout. Note the baluster shaped front legs and the stylized arm supports which lend a feeling of good support to the arms which terminate with small scrolls. The back is beautifully curved, which again terminates in a scroll similar to the arm.

What makes this chair special–aside
from form and simplicity–is the first surface. It
has never been refinished and only lightly waxed through
the years. It is in a perfect state of preservation.
Also, see
the frame prior to upholstery, which we have redone
in an appropriate historic fabric.
