A Queen Anne Walnut Wing (Easy) Chair, Boston, MA, 1740-50

This wing chair was handled by John Walton, a major dealer in American decorative arts, and came out of the estate of the collectors, Ann and Philip Holzer This chair relates very closely to a number of examples illustrated both at the Metropolitan museum and Winterthur. For a comparison of these chairs, attached please find the following materials. It is interesting to not how closely thee chairs follow the form, which is very sculptural. Our chair has its full height, and is a fine example retaining its original polished surface.
