A Set of Eight Mahogany “Hartford” Hepplewhite Chairs, c.1890

This centennial set of chairs is in fine condition retaining its original horsehair fabric. While commonly called Hartford chairs, these were probably manufactured in Providence and came from a local Providence estate. The modeling is finely executed and the carving on the splat sharp and crisp. The mahogany has a warm, faded patina and is its first surface.
