A similar chair bearing the label of Lemuel Churchill of Boston owned by the Winterthur Museum is illustrated in Charles F. Montgomery, American Furniture, The Federal Period, pl. 116, p. 163
The exaggerated flared back and rear legs of this lolling chair associate it with the shop of Lemuel Chruchill (working 1805-1828) of Boston. Perhaps the most significant feature that ties this chair to Churchill's shop are the molded thumbprint arches at the joint of the arm and arm support that appear on a nearly identical labeled Churchill lolling chair in the collection of Winterthur Museum (Montgomery, American Furniture (New York, 1966), no. 116.
