CHIPPENDALE MAHOGANY BALL AND CLAW FOOT WINGCHAIR.Last quarter 18th Century, probably Massachusetts. The arched crestrail with padded back joined to well developed ogival wings, continuing to rolled arms, centered the overupholstered trapezoidal seat, raised on frontal cabriole legs with shaped returns terminating in ball and claw feet. Joined to the backswept rear legs with baluster and ring turned recessed box stretcher. SIZE: Height of back: 47" Overall length: 37" Approx Depth: 32" CONDITION: Structurally good. The frame glue block absent at juncture of back and wings, needing replacement for additional tightening of frame. Finished exposed surface retains old, if not original, polish with good patina. Proper left front foot with loss to center claw at base. Otherwise very good. 49922-19 HMG (1,500-2,500)
