Child's Bow-Back Windsor Side Chair

Maker unknown · United States · 1785–1800

During the 1780s, when the bow-back Windsor chair was introduced, a change took place in the style of turnings: bamboo turnings replaced the baluster. The turnings of the legs and stretchers of this small Windsor chair reflect the newer style.
