Portsmouth, New Hampshire Ribbon Back Side Chair, probably by Robert Harrold. c1770-80 #5530
This ribbon back side chair is from Portsmouth, and is by Robert Harrold (working 1765-92), or a closely related shop. It is mahogany, except for the over upholstered seat rails, which are maple. The front seat rail is made from a very tight piece of curly maple. The chair is all original, in an old finish, and full height, other than the glue blocks for the seat rails have been replaced, and the upholstery. The ribbon slats are nicely carved, as is the crest-rail. The front legs have a molding profile typical of Harrold's work, and a chamfer on the back post under the side stretchers typical of Southern New Hampshire chairs. The chair is 36 3/4" tall, and the front of the seat is 21 1/4" wide.
This is priced at $575

Rhode Island Comb-Back Windsor #14
Here is a large scale Rhode Island Comb-back Windsor. I believe it dates from the 1760s or 70s. It is closely related to the sack-back pictured in Charles Santore's book on Windsor's Vol. II #111. I suspect that these chairs date earlier than what has been published. This particular chair has quite a bit of "lean" to the back, and it is 43 1/2" tall, and has a 16" seat height. It has holes drilled in the seat bottom, and there is documentation in the eariet Windsors having drain holes for outdoor garden use.
