Tremendous figuring of the Birch inlaid panel
See chair #2 in the above scan showing a Sheraton
design from around 1810
|
Excellent form and condition with a superb
patina and rich color. The untrained eye may attribute this form to England &
although this exact form is taken from a Sheraton design of the period (see scan) the Flame Birch Inlaid central panel
and the raised Crotch Mahogany Veneer on the top rail ~ a Boston area characteristic of the period~ clearly give this piece
a Massachusetts or New Hampshire origin. An American
adaption of an English design.
Reeded lower sear rail, ring turned and tapered legs. Frame showing tack/nail holes,.the outer edge of the rails are original
however the inner rails have been partially re-railed, with newer corner blocks added.
Outstanding quality of carving on the center rail- from left
to right this is one piece of wood ~ the Flame Birch Inlaid panel with crossbanding for a stunning contrast.
