Elizabethan Revival, Thrown Chair

Description

England, 19th Century
36 1/2" x 25" x 20"
turned oak

Three-cornered "thrown" armchair featuring an an asymmetrical three-legged frame, a form which developed prominently throughout sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, New England, and Holland. Woodworkers specializing in this trade were termed turners or bodgers, creating complex lattices and beadings from regional hardwoods. Though positioned within the legacy of the Age of Oak style, the lathed joinery techniques developed for these items directly preceded and informed the functional designs of subsequent Shaker furniture.

This design is a direct descendant of an earlier chair, referred to as the Holyoke Chair or, sometimes, the Bizarre Chair, which was reserved for the president of Harvard University at ceremonies from at least 1770.

This item is located in our Treadwell, NY warehouse. Pickup and shipping options available upon request.

Condition

Wear to turned finish consistent with age and structural use, with small losses to oak seat section (seat height: 18 inches). Catalog Projects encourages bidders to request complete condition reports via email, info@catalogprojects.com. Notes provided here may be incomplete.
