Side Chair
Maker unknown · Massachusetts · 1690–1720
The vertical slats of banister-back chairs were made from two pieces of wood glued together and then separated after being turned on a lathe. Banister-back chairs were less expensive alternatives to costly imported caned chairs. Many were made in and around Boston for export. Boston dominated the chair-exporting trade within the Anglo-American colonies until the mid-eighteenth century.
