Based on a popular English design (John Kirck, American Furniture & The British Tradition to 1830 (New York, 1982) pp.256-257, figs. 870-877), this chair and the following lot depict clear characteristics associated with New York, the broad proportions, the gadrooned seatrail, and distinct squared ball-and-claw feet. Two chairs with related features are illustrated in Oswaldo R. Rogue, Furniture at Chipstone (Madison, WI, 1984), fig. 55 and Albert Sack, American Antiques from Israel Sack Collection, vol. II, no. 13 (April, 1965), pp. 310, no. 763.
