About the Item

Monumental Chippendale Stop-Fluted Mahogany Easy Chair Newport, Rhode Island, circa 1770-1795 The arched crest flanked by ogival wings and cone-shaped outscroll arms, the serpentine seat with loose cushion, on marlborough stop-fluted legs, joined by box stretchers. Secondary woods: Chestnut, Oak, Hickory and Ash h. 48 in.; w. 40 1/2 in.; d. (at feet) 28 ? in. Provenance: Private, Roxbury, Connecticut Collection, circa 1980-1990 It has been thought that this chair was made for John Brown (1733-1785), although there is no evidence to support this. This chair would have been custom-made for a client. Alfred Donaldson, in his 1921, "History of the Adirondacks" has written that Brown was known to be of average height but weighed in at a portly 300 pounds. John Brown was the richest merchant in Providence, Rhode Island. Until 1771 he was he was in the business with his three brothers and with them was largely responsible for bringing Brown University to Providence. The Brown brothers, then John Brown himself after 1771, had extensive trade relations with Philadelphia, Boston, Newport and New York, and ordered furniture from Philadelphia and from John Goddard in Newport to furnish his houses. In 1786 he built the magnificent mansion in Provenance, now the headquarters of the Rhode island Historical Society.
