cherry, 40"h
Eliphalet Chapin
(b. 1741) learned the cabinetmaking trade in Philadelphia and brought his
skills back to the East Windsor area of Connecticut. His work blended
Philadelphia proportions and construction with the more restrained tastes of
his Connecticut clientele.
This side chair features the strong but compact ball and claw feet and crest
rail shell indicative of the Chapin school. The handsomely shaped splat and
the crest ears are detailed with carved volutes.
