18th C. Colonial Child’s Armchair
This chair has survived 250 years, three layers of paint and an untold number of children—some of whom clearly used it learning to walk—and it remains a great piece of historic American seating for very small people. 19th C. red paint with yellow and black decoration over earlier coats of salmon and blue surfaces. Early yellow painted splint seat. Ca. 1760-1790, possibly Massachusetts. 21¼”H.
Sold in 2000 as part of the celebrated Paul and Margaret Weld collection.
$575
