    Description
    A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY WILLIAM AND MARY CORNER CHAIR THAT JUST CAME OUT OF AN OLD MAINE COLLECTION.
    THIS IS A GREAT QUALITY EARLY 18TH CENTURY WILLIAM AND MARY PERIOD MASSACHUSETTS LADDER-BACK CORNER CHAIR IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH THE BEST FLATTENED PORRINGER SHAPED HANDS, BOLD TURNED LEGS AND POSTS WITH A VERY RARE "CARVED SPANISH FOOT" IN THE FRONT AND BALL FEET IN THE REAR.
    THE CHAIR IS IN A WONDERFUL MID 19TH CENTURY BLACK PAINT OVER THE ORIGINAL RED STAINED BASE COAT.
    MASSACHUSETTS, CIRCA 1710-1730, IN MAPLE AND ASH.
    A VERY RARE CHAIR, THE USE OF A SPANISH FOOT JUST ON THE FRONT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THESE EARLY MASSACHUSETTS CORNER CHAIRS.
    MANY EXAMPLES CAN BE FOUND IN MUSEUMS AND HISTORICAL SOCIETIES.
    A first period 18th Century William and Mary American ARMED CORNER CHAIR.
    It has the VERY BEST SHAPED AND CARVED ARMS WITH BOLD FLATTENED PORRINGER SHAPED HANDS. IT ALSO HAS FULLY DEVELOPED AND RING TURNED LEGS.
    THE FRONT LEG ENDS IN A CARVED SPANISH FOOT AND THE OTHER THREE END IN TURNED BALL FEET.
    IT STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL ROSE HEADED NAILS IN THE TOP CUSHION SUPPORT.
    ALL OF THE ORIGINAL STRETCHERS ARE STILL INTACT.
    IT STILL RETAINS AN OLD BUT REPLACED 19TH CENTURY RUSH SEAT THAT WAS PUT ON BEFORE THE BLACK PAINT, CIRCA 1840-1850.
    THE BOLD SHAPED SLATS ARE ORIGINAL AND FULLY INTACT.
    THE SURFACE IS A WONDERFUL OLD GRUNGY CIRCA 1840-1850 BLACK PAINT WITH GREAT PATINA.
    IT IS OVER THE ORIGINAL RED WASH BASE COAT.
    THE PAINT IS WORN AND GRUNGY AND COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED.
    This chair is in ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL CONDITION. EVERY COMPONENT IS ORIGINAL. EVERY WOODEN PEG IS STILL INTACT. THE ARMS AND CUSHION SUPPORT ARE ORIGINAL. THE PORRINGER SHAPED HANDS ARE THE BEST AND FULLY DEVELOPED WITH NO BREAKS WHATSOEVER.
    NO REPAIRS OR RESTORATIONS EXCEPT THE SEAT.
    THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE SURVIVOR. WE DO NOT SEE MANY FIRST PERIOD LADDER BACK CORNER CHAIRS IN THIS CONDITION AND RETAINING ITS ORIGINAL CARVED SPANISH FOOT.
    FOR A NEARLY IDENTICAL EXAMPLE SEE, "FURNITURE TREASURY" BY WALLACE NUTTING, AND "EARLY AMERICAN ANTIQUE COUNTRY FURNISHINGS", BY NEUMANN.
    This great chair stands 32" tall. The seat height is a full 17" and is 27" across.

    Low starting Price and NO reserve.
