NEAR PAIR OF AMERICAN LOWBACK WINDSOR ARM CHAIRS Late 19th or Early 20th Century This is a positively gorgeous near pair of American Lowback Windsor Chairs, crafted during the late 19th or early 20th century with period techniques after the Philadelphia originals of a century prior. They are entirely bench made, the tooling and craftsmanship absolutely identical to 18th Century examples.
