Chippendale Style Ladder Ribbon Back Embroidered Seat Side Chair
 
This is a superb mahogany, Chippendale ribbon-back side chair with embroidered seat.  Dating to the 19th Century, four interlacing horizontal pierced ribbon splats comprise the ladder back and finish in well-formed carved ears. The pegged and joined legs mark the highest quality craftsmanship.  Splendid form and crisp carving detail confirm the excellence of conception associated with Chippendale.  An embroidered, trapezoidal slip seat is raised on straight molded legs joined by an H-stretcher.  The hardwood has developed a warm patination over time.
