American Chippendale Period Mahogany Stool
Circa 1770-90, Probably New England
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
This is an absolute treasure! Fully original and well preserved, this stool of the Chippendale period was probably crafted in the New England states as a companion for a Wingback Chair or other large arm chair of healthy proportions. With a tall height of 20", it would have been a companion to something with a thick upholstered seat in the 22-24" range. It is crafted with precision, using matched pine corner blocks nailed with four rose heads, a clearly successful mechanism as all are fully retained and the stool is incredibly sturdy. The rails of the stool tenon into the square legs, pinned at each corner and reinforced on a few corners with later (presumably) screws. The legs are plain and precise, chamfered along the back corner for visual appeal. The outermost corner of each leg has a single reed carved, and the rim around the slip seat is carefully molded. Each leg is stretched wonderfully with an H-form stretcher, the middle bar dovetailing into the side bars with tiny dovetails.
This is a rare and wonderful find. Stools were not high-production pieces, crafted infrequently for special chairs and clients, and as such are very difficult to acquire in good condition. We believe this to be an American work, noting the secondary wood used and the shape and form of the blocks. This is a piece you will cherish in your home and easily incorporate into such a vast number of design scenarios - it is flexible, moving from being the obvious choice in front of a large WIngback chair to the wall between two windows with some books piled upon it. Also, being the height of many diminutive chairs, it can rest in front of the Piano or dressing table very comfortably, and be fully functional as such. This is something your family will pass through the generations, an heirloom already that has centuries of life left in it's form.
Measurements: 18 1/8" deep x 22 1/8" wide x 20" high

This fine carved work is simply a visual delight! It has a finely carved frame, somewhat half-moon in overall form, carefully molded around the entirety of it. It is carved flawlessly at the center with a wonderful motif, each corner is decorated with carved square rosettes and a repeating carved motif along the bottom. The stool rests over four ring-turned tapered and fluted legs with round ball feet. It has a stunning painted surface, carefully worn with years of life into a very fine patina. The wood shows through, the original paint visible throughout and the entire surface with a light wax.
This is an absolute treasure that will bring completion to your seating. It is quite unique and a difficult find, something you will truly enjoy once fully restored.

Original 18th Century Sack Back Windsor Arm Chair
Woods: Hickory (arms, crest rail, spindles), Maple (arm supports, legs and stretcher), Poplar (seat)
Origin: Probably New England, though the use of poplar for the seat does lend a possibility of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania
Circa 1770-80
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
This is a wonderful early example of what has become known as a "sack back" windsor. It's origin is a bit difficult to ascertain without a provenance, as it has what are typically understood as New England turnings, smooth turned stretchers as often found in Connecticut and Massachusetts works, but what we are almost certain is a poplar seat - these are typical in chairs of Pennsylvania, specifically Lancaster County, where the New England leg turning was widely used. It was very well executed, the bowed crest with a soft curvature, flowing easily into the curved arm rail. Each spindle tenons through this crest rail, each with split-wedge tenon device hammered into the top of each to lock them into the crest. This split-wedge is replicated in all through-tenon joints in the chair. More uniquely, and as a testament to the attention shown by it's craftsman, each long spindle swells at the lower half in symmetry with it's opposing spindle, then tapering impossibly thin at the top. Built to last, not a single spindle has been damaged or broken, despite the very thin profile of each.
The arm rail has a soft upward slope, creating an overall backward leaning profile, allowing you to rest comfortably in a slightly reclined position as your arms rest naturally. Supporting each arm is a turned maple arm support, each turned with superior level of skill - if you are familiar with sack back examples, comparing the soft swelling and sharp turnings of the arm supports will certainly set this chair apart from it's peers.
The seat has a chiseled channel around the spindles, as typically found in this form, giving shape to the ovular shaped seat, formed carefully to allow comfort. This rests over four ring-baluster turned and tapered legs supported by an H-form stretcher, swollen at the medial and smooth along the edges. The stretcher is somewhat unique, often designed with a sharp turned-ring flanking the swell. It has a nice splay to the legs, comfortable and stable while still being quite angular. The finish appears to have once been a delicious reddish-brown, now worn mostly away into an alligatored overall finish that was preserved with a shellac, probably in the last fifty years.
This is a wonderful find for any collector of pure American antiques. It is fully original in all all aspects but the finish, remnants of which are still visible in parts to lend to what it may have looked like at one point, now with a delightful crackling dancing through it's parts. It is fully functional and actually very comfortable as well. It would be an amazing piece in front of your desk, a piece you will enjoy regularly and that will complete any colonial decor. You will treasure this chair.
Measurements: 23 3/4" wide (arm to arm), 14 3/4" deep, 35 1/4" high to crest, 17" high to seat

19th Century Wrought Iron Savonarola Window Bench
Queen Anne Style w/ Pad Feet, Europe
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
A unique chair in every way, this fantastic wrought iron window bench is fashioned loosely in the form of the Savonarola chair of the Renaissance. It has an overall Moroccan appeal, a taste of mystery in the overall formation of the piece. With round ball finials at each corner, the upper portion of the chair is a full U shape, forming a seat at the center with upholstery over the iron springs. The lower half mirrors the top, an inverted U with a shaped stretcher joining each foot permanently, capped in the center with another ball finial. The legs cabriole into sharp spade form pad feet.
This is a simply gorgeous and incredibly unique designer find. It is strong throughout, fully functional and perfect for any lonely corner or empty window. You will certainly treasure this piece for a very long time.
Measurements: 23 1/2" wide x 14 " deep x 31 3/4" high to top of finial

19th Century Louis XV Style One Half Bergere Wingback Chair
Gilt Highlighted, Circa 1870-90
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
This gorgeous Louis XV Style chair circa the last quarter of the 19th Century is an absolute gem. In rare form, this piece boasts a thin molded frame, unusual in it's thin profile. The crest has a light serpentine form, cresting at each shoulder and at the centermost point with a floral carved design. It has a wingback form, the shoulders squaring to the back, the exposed molding flowing downward into upholstered arms over carved handholds. These flank a broad and comfortable upholstered seat, stuffed over the frame to the outline of the curved apron, carved and gilt highlighted at the center. The chair rests over cabriole legs that come up softly in curled french toes. The unique proportions make it inordinately comfortable for a single person, too small for two people and intended to have numerous pillows as an ultimate relaxation piece. This would be the strike point piece for any sunroom, living room or large master bedroom. It is an incredibly nostalgic piece, bringing the best of the Rococo Revival to any formal setting. This is a piece you will cherish in your home for many generations to come.

Fine Set of Four American Solid Birch Hepplewhite Period Dining Chairs
One Arm Chair, Four Side Chairs, New England, circa 1800-1810
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
These are an exceptional set, executed entirely in solid birch primary woods during the height of the Federal Period. The crest has the form of a cupid's bow, sharply rounding at the top, flaring up at the ears. The stiles are solid birch, square and backswept from the foot through the seat frame, rounding along the back up to the crest rail, flaring slightly before joining the crest. The pierced splat is vasiform, stunning in it's simplicity with a circle at the center and S-curls completing the splat at the crest. The entire back is flat at the face, rounded along the back for a smooth profile. The arm chair has two arms that are fully molded, each flanking a broad suede trapezoidal slip seat, the seat frame carefully carved to receive the seat with a thin channel along the perimeter. Tiny half round fully original blocks still lock the seat frame together from the inside, the front two blocks notched of a solid block, the back blocks with a squared corner. The front legs are plain and tapered, stretched with a box stretcher, the middle stretcher joining from the underside with a notched dovetail visible from the underside.
These are a simply stunning set for any serious collector of the American Federal Period, with glowing gorgeous birch grains visible throughout. The birch brings an incredible warmth to the chairs, each with a fine rubbed oil finish and in outstanding condition. Being structurally firm in all joints for full functional use, this is a set that can be actively enjoyed without fear or hesitation, while also being an investment that can be treasured in your home for many generations to come.
Measurements:
Arm Chair: 23" wide x 19 1/2" deep x 38 1/2" high; approximately 18" to seat
Side Chair: 19 3/4" wide x 18" deep x 37 3/4" high; approximately 18 to seat

Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
These are a stunning set, rarely found in a full collection of four - because these are generally easier to sell as a single chair than as a set of four, they are regularly broken up and sold individually. To find a set that has not been merely assembled, but literally is crafted by the same hand and at the same date, still intact after three hundred years is difficult and infrequent. They feature a beautiful pink upholstery, stitched to form stripes in the shape of diamonds throughout, tacked to the frame with decorative brass nails.
The crest of each chair features a bouquet of flowers with leaves flowing outward into a molded frame, serpentine along the sides and bottom around a comfortable upholstered back. Curved arms, upholstered at the center with brass tack lining, flow out from the back from pinned mortise-tenon joints into carved hand rests over incredibly molded and petite arm supports that curve in to join the seat frame with an S-scroll completing the design. The arm support proportions speak to the mastery of this set of chairs, noting just how thin the profile of each is and how delicately carved they are. The frame of the seat is carved long the apron with matching molding that flanks a floral bouquet. The four cabriole legs join the frame with exposed peg tenon-mortise joints behind floral carved knees before flowing in a perfect cyma-curve to terminate in understated foliate carved french toes - the carving on the toes is mirrored in the hand rests, where again the design is subtle and understated.
Each chair has a wonderful glowing finish, deeply polished with a warm patina. The exposed back reveals all construction details, each chair enjoying original tenon-mortise joinery with small wooden pins to lock the frame together perfectly for many centuries. They have such a broad number of design uses within a formal home, as a flexible set that can be used for a small dining room, a full parlor set, a breakfast table or as two sets of two chairs in different rooms. Strong and sturdy in all joints, this set will continue to be enjoyed for many generations to come if well cared for, and will certainly be a treasure passed down within your family.
Measurements:
34 1/4" high to crest x 20" deep x 22 1/2" wide; seat is 17" high over the ground

Fine Set of Four Queen Anne Style Benchmade S & H Jewel Dining Chairs

S & H Jewel was a firm of cabinetmakers and also a retailer of fine hand crafted furniture. The earliest filings suggest the firm began operation in 1830 and continued through the early 20th Century. They were renowned for offering pieces of uncompromising quality and their works still command a strong market. A set of chairs of similar quality, though without the fine apron and pegged construction, were offered at Christies in 2006 (Sale 4952, Lot 133) and brought in $8,463.
These four are a particularly stunning set, each chair with an incredible solid mahogany pierced splat of unusual design. The crest is a soft arch softly flowing into double curled carved ears, both of which easily flow with clear lines into the inward bent stiles, each flanking a complex array of crescents and triangular piercings with foliate influenced motifs flowing across the middle of the splat. Below the pierced portion of the splat is a beautiful solid carved portion that scallops down into the shoe, a second piece resting on the back rail of the frame. The trapezoidal form slip seats drop into a solid mahogany chair frame, pegged over the knees at each corner on either side of an incredible scroll cut scalloped apron. Acanthus carved knees flow into cabriole legs front legs, each terminating in carved slipper feet. The stiles form a perfect C-curve, flowing flawlessly from a side profile in a subtle C shape from the crest to the bottom of the foot, changing in shape from crescent along the stile to thick plain rear legs chamfered along each corner. Inside of the frame of each chair is a plaque noting the origin as "S & H Jewell, 132 High Holborn, London WC".
These are some of the most beautiful chairs we've found in the Centennial period with some of the most incredible scalloped lines available in chairs of this form, while also keeping the period details you would find in a Queen Anne chair of 1750. Each being sturdy and fully functional, these not only make an incredible acquisition for the collector, but also fully functional works of art for any decorative setting you may have in your home. This is a set you and your family will treasure in your home for many generations to come.
Measurements: 37 7/8" high x 22 1/2" wide (knee to knee) 21" deep; seat rests 19" over the ground

A Set of Four Painted Louis XVI Fauteuil Arm Chairs and Side Chairs by Pierre Bernard
Circa 1766-80, nne fauteuil of slightly different design, all four stamped "P. Bernard" in a circle under the seat rail
Item # 110101PWI29
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
An exceptional salon suite featuring two near pair fauteuils à la reine and two side chairs, each chair is stamped "P. Bernard" noting the hand of Pierre Bernard, maître in Paris 1766. A "menuisier" (carpenter) by trade, Bernard was distinguished as one of the best chair craftsmen of his trade, documented at length with a vast number of works owned by patrons of importance. He provided extensive works for the Marquis de Laborde (1724-1794), the fermiers généraux under King Louis XV, crafting magnificent chairs for his château in Méréville, France.
Another Pierre Bernard of note crafted works in France: the Ébéniste (cabinet-maker) Pierre Bernard (b. 1715-1770, France) operated his shop designing fine case works of the Louis XV infuence during the same period, but in light of not being the solo Pierre Bernard, he stamped his works "Pierre Bernard Ébéniste", thus clearly distinguishing himself from the menuisier. Documented works by Pierre Bernard the menuisier are identified as late as 1780 with significant holdings in museums throughout Europe.
The present set is an elaborately carved suite of two fauteuils and two side chairs, each crafted of solid beechwood with later painted surfaces. The fauteuils are near pairs, each stamped by Bernard under the apron, but each of slightly differing proportions and carving depth denoting craftmanship at differing times. The set is a pure design taking on the full influence of the Louis XVI period, clearly evolved beyond the transitional period of the shifting taste from the flowing Rococo of Louis XV into the more rigid Neoclassicism of Louis XVI, a transition Bernard is famous for handling expertly. Balancing a certain austerity and exactness of shape with the flow of the fauteuil arms and the perfect splay of the legs, the chairs have poise and presence.
The chair backs are molded with blue on cream paint highlights, framing a raised square upholstered back over fluted stiles that flow into the frame. The arms are upholstered, with a gentle swoon before curling into the handles. The supports enjoy a subtle cyma-curve, intensely carved with reed molded form before joining the seat frame. The apron is likewise molded with simple lines, flanked by square corners with carved rosettes over turned and stop-fluted legs terminating in toupie sabot feet. Intense ring turning signal the start of each leg, but it is incredible as you examine each leg how every single leg is just slightly different. The slightest difference in width, depth of rings and quickness of turn is an ever present reminder that each leg was a work of art slowly developed with the knife of a highly skilled menuisier, while also highlighting the effects of shrinking and expanding woods changing a round turning to become spherical.
Each chair boasts a fine light blue floral re-upholstery in overall excellent condition with only minor wear and subtle staining. Early repainted surfaces bring harmony to the lines with the deep patina of a soft finish mellowed and worn over the generations. Each chair is constructed with exposed peg tenon joints, some of these pegs replaced, which has allowed the frame to breathe as it expands and contracts with time.
The underside of the front rail of each chair is impressed with the stamp "P. Bernard", only a few letters legible on some chairs, the stamp quite clear on two of the chairs. The stamp is formed in a circle, a branding Bernard is recorded using in his works until some time after 1770 when he began using "P. Bernard" stamped in a single line.
This is a rare set with incredible form, raw and simply powerful lines and stance throughout. Each chair is very strong and fully functional, a testament to the care and expertise shown in the original joinery - this is an exceptional set you will truly cherish for a lifetime.

American Fan Back Windsor Side Chair, Walter Steely
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, circa 1925-75
Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture!
Walter Steely (b. 1897-1977) lived and crafted his beautiful creations in Lititz, Pennsylvania in Lancaster County. The serpentine crest rail terminates in turned volutes, supported with two sharply ring- rod-turned maple back rails flanking seven turned tapered spindles, each locking into the crest with every other spindle pegged with small through-pins. The saddle seat is a single solid board scooped seat, hand carved around the entire rim and fluted around the spindles. All four legs tenon through the seat, using split-wedge joinery to lock these legs flawlessly in place. The legs are turned Philadelphia-style, with incredible sharp rings spun in beautiful maple rods, perfectly splayed in exact proportion to the chair and stretched with an H form bulbed stretcher. The back of the seat is initialed W.S., Walter Steely's signature way of identifying pieces.
This is simply one of the most beautiful fanback chairs we've seen of his. With a glowing rubbed finish, hand carvings throughout the entire chair and strength in every joint, this is a collector quality investment grade windsor signed by the artist. It is an outstanding find for any collector of Walter Steely chairs, as there is quite a following for his pieces in particular, but also for any collector of windsor chairs with period construction detail and design.
Measurements:
21" wide x 20 1/2" deep x 37 1/2" high to crest; 18 1/2" high to seat.
