These chairs from Sheraton's design book have arched crest rails over pierced urn splats. Over-upholstered seats sit on straight tapered legs with square stretchers. They are closely related to the set that George Washington ordered for Mount Vernon from John Aitkins of Philadelphia in 1797. However, the additional scrolls and bellflowers at the base of the splats are more unusual and produce a more refined overall splat design. CONDITION: The medial stretchers on both chairs were replaced, as well as a small repair to the splat. They survive with their original surfaces. PROVENANCE: Joe Kindig Antiques.
