Pair Mid 19th Century American Turners Armchairs Rare 19thC 19th %%alt5%%
A rare pair of Mid-19th Century turners armchairs of American origin. The design is also known as the "Brewster Chair" and was named after Willam Brewster, one of the Pilgrim fathers who landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. In 1830 the Brewster family of Duxbury donated Elder Brewster's original chair to Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, where it remains today. His chair was created in New England between 1630 and 1660. Other similar New England chairs from the 17th century and later have been named after this piece.
Our stunning examples have the name and date inscribed to each cresting rail "Anna Flechmann 1843", with coronet above and flanked by polychromed flowers and foliage.
Constructed from ash with cedar/pine seat boards.
With substantial traces of their original paint too.
