Rush-bottom Chair

Can anyone id this maple armchair's age and origin.

 

my, but those are good photo's !!!

I'd hazard a guess at 1975 to 1985..

 

I'm seeing late 1800s.
Are you in the New England area?

I also think 19th century but could be earlier than clutteredcloset suggests. Really hard to identify such chairs since made for many years by numerous makers. There are some distinguishing features to this chair that may help to pin this down but such nuances are beyond my interests/expertise.

 

Yep, i agree with Cluttered & Brad. 19th century ladder back with rush seat.
Origin? Oh Boy, i dunno, wood species looks like birch or maple, where are you & where did you get the chair?

 

Hi,
I think if it was 19th Century there would be more wear to the front rungs and the bottom of the legs. They look pretty untouched to me.

I'm in Georgia. I got a Sheraton sideboard that came out of a mansion in New York at the auction and this was from the same consigner...not sure if they came down together. I thought the style looked like some 18th century chairs I've seen but certainly not the wear you want. I think the side stretchers were possibly mis-placed when the rush was replaced and possibly some light and old finish restoration.

 

Yes, it has sheraton elements on the legs as well as pilgrim design too in the arms. Still think 19th century sometime in second half, american. It was common for late victorians to have 2 or more design elements in same piece. Ladder backs like this were made in the millions on eastern seaboard so tough to pin down where made.

 

Here is a pilgrim century ladder back going on sale new week in NYC at the americana week thing. Connecticut, maple & ash, C 1700
Basically same form as your chair, just earlier example.

 

Thank you. That is a nice chair. I just missed a similar one recently at an estate sale.

Here is another one I'd like to know more about. Painted Hitchcock styling, hoop skirt, rush.
