About the Item

A very fine sack back armchair, circa 1780-90. This armchair has a bowed crest rail mortised into a continuous rear rail with eleven spindles, seven of which are full height. The continuous rail terminates in carved knuckle two-piece handholds above baluster and ring turned arm supports, all over a D-shaped seat with double gutter carving and a very prominent pommell, the whole supported by four baluster and ring turned legs unified by a similarly turned cross stretcher. This chair is older, but not original black paint. The secondary woods are pine, hickory and maple.
