Description:
Corner chair or roundbabout chair with a rush seat, which purportedly descended in the Hoyt family of Deerfield and was once part of the furnishings of the Old Indian House. Mrs. Henry King Hoyt of Deerfield (born Catherine Wells, 1805-1891) gave many old family pieces such as this chair to Miss C. Alice Baker (1833-1909), which is listed in the Emma Lewis Coleman (1853-1942) Inventory #52 and 1963 Inventory Parlor #6. The chair has low crest rail (may be a twentieth-century restoration), and two vase-and-ring turned stretchers on each side between the turned posts.
