Description:
Chippendale side chair made of cherry and maple with over-the-rails upholstery. This chair has a finely interlaced splats and scrolled ears molded in the back, features identical to four chairs found in the Jabez Huntington house in Norwich, Connecticut, with a family plaque on the chairs: "This chair was in the Jabez Huntington house in Norwich Town, Conn. Bought by Edith Huntington Wilson in 1922. This chair was left by her to her cousin Sydney (Stevens) Williston in 1939." HD has another side chair (87.011) which was also probably made by Felix Huntington in Norwich between 1785-1800. It is likely that the same templates were used to saw out the crest rails and rear stiles in both chairs.
