Each chair has an interlaced heart-shaped back
centering a pierced flower-head and bellflower-carved splat. The chair is
further defined by an over-upholstered serpentine saddle seat which retains its
original stuffing. The legs are stop-fluted and turned in the French Louis XVI
style, which are the rarest form of leg in this grouping of chairs.

Chairs of similar form–save the rare stop-fluted
leg–is referenced in a number of places. See Dean A. Fales, Jr., Furniture at Historic Deerfield, Page 77, Ill.
