18th Century American Chippendale Period Side Chair, circa 1760-90 from the Southern States. Visit us at www.sillafineantiques.com for a full slideshow of pictures as well as a large selection of other fine furniture! The crest rail is scooped in the center, curving upwards into pointed ears with small wooden pegs at the center of each. The stiles are carved carefully, tenoned and pinned at the crest ears, flat along the front and curved along the back into the frame, where the stiles square and sweep backwards. These flank a thick pierced splat of very unique vasiform design, tenoned at the top and locking into the shoe at the bottom of the frame. Unique to Southern State chairs, the shoe is a solid piece of the back of the chair frame - in Northern States and much of England, chairs were often crafted with a shoe that sits on top of the back of the chair frame, making this a significant part of the design. The seat frame is trapezoidal, a geometrical upholstered slip seat dropping smoothly into the space, the rim around the frame molded carefully. Each corner is pegged, with these piercing into the inside of the frame and visible from beneath, crafted so flawlessly that no interior blocking has ever been used to secure the frame. Straight molded front legs have a Box-form stretcher locking each together, pinned at the corners with tiny wooden pegs. A deep patina covers every square inch of the solid cherry. This is a simply incredible Southern Chippendale Chair, an outstanding find for collector and decorator alike. Preserved in original condition in nearly every detail (exception with the finish and upholstery), this fine work of American craftsmanship will be treasured in your home for generations to come. Measurements: 19" wide at front corners, 35 1/2" high to crest, 18 1/2" deep approximately; 15 1/2" high to seat (petite). See something you can't live without? Let us know!

Origin: The Holy Land Circa: 3300 BC to 2300 BC Collection: Jewelry Medium: Carnelian, Diorite Additional Information: SOLD Necklace composed of antique carnelian, rock crystal, and brown quartz beads dating from the early Bronze Age.The love of ornament is as old as civilization itself. By wearing jewelry that is unusual or unique, we define ourselves as individuals and set ourselves apart from the crowd. Throughout antiquity, in every great culture, beads were formed from colored gems, glass, ceramic, shell, bone and metal in an endless variety of shapes and sizes. Sometimes they were worn for their magical or curative powers, at other times simply for their beauty. They were worn by people, highborn and low, the citizen of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Judea, Greece, Rome and Byzantium. Frequently these jewels, so prized in life, were buried with their owners to adorn them through eternity. When we wear them today, we add another chapter to their long and fascinating history. - (SB.1299)   « Less
