FINE AND RARE SET OF FOUR GRAIN-PAINTED EIGHT-SPINDLE FAN-BACK WINDSOR SIDE CHAIRS, ATTRIBUTED TO JAMES CHAPMAN TUTTLE, SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS, CIRCA 1795-1802
Height 36 ¼ in.
Mark and Marjorie Allen, New Hampton, New Hampshire.
Tuttle is note worthy for making fan-back Windsor side chairs with eight spindles rather than the more common approach of using seven. A related fan-back side chair is in the collection of Winterthur Museum (see Nancy Goyne Evans, American Windsor Chairs, (New York: Hudson Hill Press, 1996), pp. 366-7., fig. 6-219).
