Chair · New Haven
Side Chair
Maker unknown · New Haven · 1740–60
This chair is of a type made in the coastal communities of New Haven County, Connecticut, that have an arched crest rail pierced with a heart and either banister backs or vase-shaped splats like this one. This chair is identical to an example that came from the Rose House in North Branford, Connecticut (the interior paneling of which is now at the Yale University Art Gallery). Another counterpart and a related example, with a banister back, are at the Dorothy Whitfield Historic Society in Guilford, Connecticut.
