VERY FINE SET OF FOUR DARK-GREEN-PAINTED AND CARVED WINDSOR SIDE CHAIRS, NEW ENGLAND, PROBABLY MASSACHUSETTS, CIRCA 1800 |

Each with a shaped crest rail and six turned spindle-form uprights, the saddle-seat with chip-carving on the reverse and supported on boldly splayed tapering legs joined by conforming stretchers, most retaining some traces of original dark bottle-green paint.

Each overall fine condition. Wear commensurate with age and use, some chairs showing more wear than others. One chair is mostly stripped from the front side, but there is a layer of light blue paint visible to the back side of the chair.
