“The concept for mass producing quality wood furniture was spawned in 1818 by a man named Lambert Hitchcock. Hitchcock was a master woodworker who got the idea for mass production from clock makers of the time that produced the interchangeable parts for clocks. His operation started in a small town in Connecticut, where Hitchcock began making chair parts from maple, birch and oak. Instead of carving or inlaying the designs, Hitchcock used a stencilling technique to embellish the dark finishes on the chair parts”

Condition - is good with genuine wear and rubbing to the well shaped frames and legs in the right places. The seats are good and firm and likely a professionally completed replacement, be it a while ago. As mentioned these sit well with wear to the original stencilled designs, gilt work and black frames but nothing fresh or not historic - a lovely set of worn chairs which are good to go with no wobbles or sways.
A lovely looking set ready to place and enjoy, late 19th Century.

Dimensions - Overall: Height 86cm x Width 45cm x Depth 47cm
Dimensions - Specifically the Seats: Height 46cm x Width 45-39cm (Front-Rear) X Depth 38cm
