Painted Connecticut Fanback Windsor

Fine 18th C. 7-spindle Connecticut fanback Windsor with shaped ears, very good splay above and below the strongly saddled pine seat, in gorgeous crusty 19th C. red over the original leaf green paint. This sort of beautiful honest paint surface is becoming quite scarce. Although the seat height is a typical Connecticut 16½” and the stretchers are high, the overall height of 34” suggests that this fanback may have been intended for use in a tavern or inn. No breaks, repairs or replacements. Ca. 1790-1800 and probably New London County, CT.
