Serpentine square-back Windsors like this were made by the William Moon family of craftsman between 1790 and 1820 in Bucks CO., Pennsylvania. They were also made by Wm. Letchworth in Philadelphia. Cyma-urved mahogany arms add to the graceful and highly decorative form. Shown in straw yellow with dark green striping. Very comfortable seating. Thanks to Howard Szmolko for providing me with examples of Moon chairs to examine.

Overall ht. 35" Overall width 23"

Price of chair, as shown with striping, lightly distressed: $1350.
