Maker unknown · New York · 1810–20
Of all the scroll-back chairs produced in New York during the Federal period, those with lyres in their backs were illustrated most frequently in design books. The New-York Book of Prices for Manufacturing Cabinet and Chair Work for 1817 (E, pl. 6) recommended a seven shilling, eight pence extra labor charge for a chair with a "Lyre banister," and other details.
