Description:
Mixed-style armchair in maple with an old hickory splint set, painted black over the original red or graining. After the Queen Anne vase-shaped backs were introduced into the colonies in the 1720s, they were often combined with the older William and Mary rush-seated, block-and-vase turned bases that were popular on banister back chairs. This mixed style was popular through the eighteenth century; the key to their dating is based on their base turnings. This chair is made in that mixed style with a Queen Anne-style yoked crest and vasiform back splat and turned posts, legs and front stretcher.
