Chair · Portsmouth
Side Chair
Attributed to John Gaines III (American, 1704–1743) · Portsmouth · 1735–43
John Gaines III learned to turn banister-back chairs from his father, John Gaines, Jr. The younger Gaines brought this aesthetic tradition with him to Portsmouth but soon incorporated the graceful, curvilinear forms of the new late-Baroque style. This chair represents the transition between the older influence and new fashion.
