1700's Chippendale Style Country Ladder Ribbon-Back Maple Side Chairs, Pair

About the Item

If these two chairs could speak, the history they might share. These rare and very early chairs are hand-carved and constructed in a refined primitive country design, reflective of the era. Utilizing a stunning, rich maple, the top rails and cross rails flow with ribbon designs for a touch of elegance. The backs of these chairs are more delicate than others of this period and style. Higher, thinner rails and styles found in these chair backs, mixed with the heavy squared legs and wide band stretchers make these an impressive example of an Early American country chair. We cannot confirm the rush seating is original to the chair, but the probabilities are good that they are. One seat has some broken rush strands and reveals an interesting grass-like thatch sandwiched in between the top and bottom rush layers. Both chairs are rigid with secure construction. Beautiful specimens indeed. These would be a great addition to many design arrangements. From French country to Early American Rustic decors, these would be a stunning addition to the design line up.
