Continuous
Arm
(Continuous-Bow) Chair
This is a reproduction of a chair
made in Rhode Island in the mid 1770's. It is also available without
the brace spindles.
This
chair is a favorite among people of smaller stature. It is a very
comfortable chair—as well as being hauntingly beautiful. The
one piece back and arms create a charm and grace that never cease to
please the eye.

Post
and Rung Chairs and Stools
These
timeless classics have been in production and use for over a millenia.
We
use some of the same techniques in the contruction of our chairs that
have proven themselves in the test of time—such as green/dry
joinery.
Dry
wooden tenons are inserted into green wood legs for a fit unsurpassed
by almost any othe joinery technique.

We
typically hand weave the seats with hemp twine or with tape. You can
have your choice of either natural hemp fiber or we can dye the fiber
to your color preference.

Low-Back
Chairs & Settees
This
magnificent chair traces its ancestry to some of the first American
Windsor chairs that came out of Philadelphia.
This
chair has a wide, but shallow seat that in combination with the sawn
arm and back encourages good posture.
These
chairs were designed as office chairs, but we also make a deeper
version that lends itself better to relaxation.
|
|
This
was a very common style of chair in the mid 1700's. Variations of this
style of chair proliferated through the nineteenth century. This is a
very comfortable chair that looks equally well in the dining room as in
the kitchen. |

Lowback Settee
This is another of our low-back settee. These spindles
are also turned instead of carved.

Sack Back Chair
The sack back on the left is an example of a
chair popular in New
England starting about 1765. The chair is so called because it was the
custom at that time to make a fabric covering or sack to fit over the
back of the chair to "keep the chill off your back." It is not only
attractive, but a very comfortable chair for both working and relaxing.
|

|
Bow-Back
Chair
Another
of our popular standards, these are very comfortable side chairs which
work well in any number of decorative styles.
Our standard bow-back
chair includes two back or brace spindles, which
not only add to the beauty of the chair, but add strength for a
durability that will last for generations.

commanding presence. Admire its strong lines and

and head of the user. A chair that is comfortable enough for a long day
of work or for a snooze after work.
