Chippendale Chair
Best in Show - Providence Fine Furnishings Show 2008
An original design, this chair is built with traditional craftsmanship from the 18th century but could fit well in today's contemporary dining rooms. The pierced splat and carving detail were inspired by several chairs of southern origin shown in the collections at Colonial Williamsburg. Traditional pinned mortise and tenon joinery ensures that the structure of this chair will last for generations to come, complimenting the timelessness of the design.
