A desirable set of 4 squareback Hepplewhite side chairs of a type made in Boston in the 1790-1800 period. They are made of mahogany with inset panels of figured mahogany veneer in the crest rails. Note the interesting carved elements on the back splats but, more importantly, how the fine reeding from top to bottom unifies the design visually to make them so attractive. In excellent original structural condition with a nice old finish and good color.

Would nicely complement the set of 8 Salem chairs to make an awesome set of 12 !

These chairs are identical to one pictured in "American Furniture, The Federal Period" by Montgomery, which is the Winterthur collection, on page 83.

Dimensions are: H.    36 1/4"

$ 8500.
