Connecticut Spring Antiques Show 2018
Transitional Side Chair, Eighteenth Century - Price Upon Request
A rare, perhaps unique, transitional side chair with unusual crest rail and back splat, exceptionally bold stretchers and Spanish feet. The shape of the crest rail and splat, the turnings on the front legs and the attenuated rake to the back are unknown on other chairs making it difficult to attribute it to a specific area. The shape of the splat, however, bears close resemblance to that seen in several chairs attributed to the Dunlap family of New Hampshire. Maple and birch, in an old stained finish. A distinct rarity with great appeal. It is of the third quarter of the Eighteenth Century, 43½ inches tall, 18-inch seat height.
