Description
WE JUST PURCHASED A MATCHED SET OF SIX (6) LATE 18TH CENTURY CONNECTICUT \"TRACY SCHOOL\" BOWBACK SIDE-CHAIRS THAT ARE IDENTICAL IN FORM, FINISH AND CONDITION.
THESE RARE CHAIRS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TOGETHER
AND ARE FROM EasterN CONNECTICUT, CIRCA 1790-1810 FROM THE TRACY SCHOOL OF CHAIR MAKERS.
THEY ARE UNSIGNED EXAMPLES.
ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL CURVED BACK BOW, SEVEN TURNED BULBOUS SHAPED SPINDLES AND VERY FINE BOLD BAMBOO TUNED LEGS AND STRETCHERS WITH THAT DISTINCTIVE TRACY SCHOOL TURNINGS ON THE LEGS.
ANOTHER TRACY DISTINCTION IS ALL THE SEATS ARE HAND HEWN AND CARVED OUT OF A SINGLE BLOCK OF NATIVE CHESTNUT.
ALL ARE IN THE SAME NICE OLD REFINISH WITH A REDDISH COLOR AND ALL HAVE TRACES OF THE ORIGINAL GREEN PAINT THROUGHOUT.
THEY ARE NEARLY IDENTICAL IN SIZE (WITHIN 1/4\").
THEY APPEAR TO HAVE ALL BEEN REFINISHED IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY AND HAVE TAKEN ON A NICE OLD GRUNGY COLOR AND PATINA.
THESE CHAIRS ARE NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE SIGNED \"TRACY\" EXAMPLES ILLUSTRATED IN \"AMERICAN WINDSOR CHAIRS\", BY NANCY GOYNE EVANS, PAGE 301, (SEE LAST PHOTO)
THE CONDITION OF ALL OF THESE CHAIRS IS EXTRAORDINARY. THERE ARE NO BREAKS OR LOSSES TO THE BOWS OR SPINDLES AND ALL HAVE FULL AND INTACT FEET.
WE WILL BE OFFERING THESE CHAIRS INDIVIDUALLY BUT WILL INCLUDE A PHOTO OF ALL SIX TOGETHER FOR REFERENCE.
